Default d15b7 with d16a6 cam?

i was told by one of the staff at exospeed.com that the head of a ef? like 91 civic or crx si with a d16a6 (non-vtec) was basically the same as a d15b7. however the d16a6 had more agressive internals. i was told that a stock d16a6 cam was an upgrade for a d15b7. i just wanted to know the full truth on this as well as possible power gains and if any modification is needed (i.e. adj. cam gear, valves, valve springs) i was told it is just swap and go. any help would be great i have the cam i wanted to put it in today if its just swap and go.

thanks guys

yes the a6 is more aggressive and will drop right into the b7 head, remember to put assembly lube on the cam. and your good to go
