...and then you gotta factor in install, cause that prolly is gonna require timing belt labor, at least another $250. That's almost pushing $1k for a cam. And does anyone know from the specs how aggressive this is, or if it will hurt idle quality?

Below is from the other post about this in other parts....the stage two isn't so agressive that it is going to mess with the idle that bad, but it should produce some pretty decent numbers for NA, with tuning of course, but other than high comp pistons this may be one of the best NA upgrades.
The cams are new, no part numbers yet.

Holy crap, is anyone disappointed with those numbers? Stage 2 N/A - The duration is less than my stock B18A cams and the gross lift is just slightly higher
The turbo guys should see some good benefit with the extra lift, at least.
Maybe we'll see some decent benefits with some porting, the D16 manifold swap, and 11:1 pistons... Either way, Truehonda, sign me up for the kit as soon as you get those babies in stock. Make sure to post an announcement here too
