New member. Tuning advice needed. 1.6 Vti

Hi I have a 1996 Civic 1.6 Vti. So far I have added a full Magnaflow 2.25" exhaust, DC Sports 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and K&N panel air filter. These mods have made significant gains but it is still not enough. I have bought Integra Type R cams which are to be fitted next.

My trusted local garage say they can't fit the cams, so where do I go? I can't seem to find any info on Honda tuners in or near to Liverpool, any ideas?

Also what's the best way to get more from 2nd gear? 1st gear is really strong, but 2nd gear just isn't good enough, it takes too long to rev up. By the way i'm on a pretty tight budget.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

if your on a tight budget than you better stop while your still ahead.....buuuuuut you could just do a motor swap if your looking to cam your **** out cuz a single cam isnt gonna do much for ya....have you thought about bigger injectors upgraded fuel pump, chipped ecu, intake manifold,bigger throttlebody adjustible fuel pressure regulator, you could hook up an msd, box...any of those things haha (which some are still on my christmas list cuz were all on a tight budget)
