I'm looking for new cams for my 97 EX D16Y8 and good ideas for cams that aren't going to make me refinance a house?

 

hint: you only need one cam

what else is done to your car, what are your plans and goals?

 

i just put on my skunk2 cam and i love it.

 

sorry, had an extra 's' i know its an sohc, but right now, the only thing i have done to the engine is an injen short ram intake. eventually, i want to install a turbo but that wont happen for a while because im going to college. in the short term i might add fuel management components.

 

go with a stage 1 or 2 because you valve train wont like you very much if you like to rev high

 

any specific brand? like can you give me a site or somethin or maybe a price, thatd be appreciated, thanks. another question, is it true new cams give between 25-40 hp? that seems like a lot tome

 

See if Akmee will still give you their holiday special. It's still listed on their website.

 

um try zex and skunk2

 

^ Just the cam, no way. Now, you get a stage 2 cam, 3 angle valve job, and a p&p, you might see 40hp.
As far a SOHC cams go, you cant go wrong with skunk2 or Crower(my favorite) expect to pay around $300

 

An aggressive cam(probably with stronger valvetrain to support it) + bolt ons could net 40hp easily once tuned, depending on how crappy the OEM equipment is.
