A stage 2 cam will require some kind of engine/fuel management (more than an SAFC-II or VAFC-II or the likes) your're looking at least a Greddy E-manage to support a stage 2 cam. Even then it won't preform as it should with an EMS. Stick with a stage 1 unless you are looking to drop a few grand on this.

Do a head swap while you are at it. It shouldn't cost much to pick up an A2 head, maybe you can get lucky and find one at a j/y near you. Might need to pick up an A2 ECU as well. Thinking about it the VTEC cams from an A2 may affect usage in an A1...

This is what I'm saying;

the difference in cams between an A1 and an A2 might be too great to put an A2 cam in an A1 head. But if you had an A2 head there would be no problem. I have an EX so I won't be doing a head swap and top and bottom end are planned for next summer.
