I'm looking for some instite on some cams. i'ml looking to get one in the near future for my 97 GS. I'm looking for one that is fairly aggressive. And what else would i have to upgrade. fuel pump? rods? springs? timing gears? I already have headers and exhaust in the works. thanks for any advise.

ok smith i can actually help ......... i feel so special ........ anyway i rebuilt a 96 gsr a couple of years ago with the TODA B series cams you want aggressive these are full race cams you shoulda seen the lobes....... anyway i had to get the entire head p&p'ed, shorter valves, different lifters, smaller springs the whole shebang and bigger fuel pump bigger injectors 370cc i think dont quote me though better fuel rail tuned ecu i'm at work right now and dont have my records.....i'm a pack rat i keep any piece of paper that has anything to do with money or cars when i get home i'll search around and see if i can find a detailed description of the parts i bought for that project

You may also want to check out Crower. They have very nice cams!! And unless you want to be checking your retainers every couple of months, stay w/ the stock ones. They are more than up to the job. I've spoke w/ a guy that revs to 9500...he uses stock type R retainers.

And why does everybody keep saying get a new fuel rail????? The stock one can support MASSIVE amounts of power..... like in turbo applications..... I just don't get it.

There's a guy on another site that I frequent that is running like 419lb/ft of torque and he is using the stock LS head.... and when I say head, I mean everything attatched to it... well other than the exhaust, but you get the point.

Will i need new fuel injectors to flow more fuel, or will my stock ones do the job fine?

That will be dependant upon your engine.... I would say yes, so that you won't over drive them... you will need some type of fuel management though... fpr and some type of afc, and I would recomend getting some cam gears as well.

Oh yeah, and get it TUNED at on a dyno w/ a wideband O2 sensor.

That depends on how 'aggressive' you plan on going. Your stock injectors are up to the job, but my philosophy is better safe than sorry. With big power comes a big need for efficent fuel delivery.

Oh, 419ft/lbs i mean damn thats a lot of torque for a honda/acura... how does he do it!

ok i saerched my file cabinets last night and came up empty handed on a parts list i belive that a simple v-afc should suffice for the fuel management how ever the preivious should cover all the biggest parts u need

FPR= fuel pressure regulator

AFC= air fuel controller (V-AFC S-AFC)
