Crower Releases Stage 2 Cams for D17a2
Hey guys I posted a picture a couple of weeks back of a cam I was installing, it was actually a crower cam that I was beta testing for them. They are now releasing the cam.

My finding with the D17A2 Cam:
Better Rev's over stock, Better mid-range horsepower..
Defiently would recommend a lighter flywheel if your getting a new cam, make sure you replace your vale springs and retainers when you switch cams. Here is the picture below of the crower cam for our cars..

Where can I get cams, retainers, springs, for SOHC 1.7l D17a2 series? I am not having much luck

I am really close to getting a turbo kit, and i want my engine a lil more solid before I start winding it up....

agreed...
I just want to know where to buy when the time comes.
IWhat kind of results are you guys "expecting" from this upgrade?

Or does that go hand in hand with what else has been mod'd or upgraded ?

*note i am new to vtec tuning.... but I have a project in the works... i have a thread on another forum about my car build... may drop a link when I get going with it.

Any one here ever try the Gude.com heads or cams?
I thought they had a pretty good rep. Anyone use them?

I want one! But I plan on going turbo in the future! I can't deside if I want the turbo or N/A cam.... Would it hurt me if I got the turbo cam now?
