look into an LS/vtec head swap on www.team-integra.net (http://www.team-integra.com), and www.honda-tech.com (http://www.honda-tech.com)

If you're looking for the right parts there was a for sale thread not too long ago selling most parts needed for the ls/vtec swap. hit up joneblaze.

edit: found the thread

hey locote! did u end up going with the crowers with the 15.25? or do you think an LS/vtec swap would be better worth the troubles/time/money?

Vtec cams will not fit a non vtec head..
how can u answer a power gain question.. theres a million (exaggeration) diff cams that will give u diff figures.. not to forget other mods + tuning..

i just posted the crower site.
they quote power gains with their cams on stock untuned motor.
