You must mean a cam gear. There is no camshaft for an LX unless you go custom grind. A cam gear can give you a couple hp if you have i/h/e and a vafc to tune.

If you want a cam for your civic you can only use a crower cam with a headswap from a d17a2 and control vtec with a vafc. They do not make a cam for a 7th gen for anything but a d17a2.

Besides bolt-ons...crank pulley and lighter flywheel. Check out the Unorthodox SS pullies. These will be miminal gains as you will find ppl will tell you. Best way to make power is to turbo charge or swap but that is alot of money. I have the stage 2 crower cam and the car is not that much faster but def more fun to drive especially in the high rpms.
