no drivability loss for street and its pretty much drop in and go (no stand-alone ECU neccesary), however i'd recommend changing to OEM ITR dual valve springs. do you have a good header and exhaust setup already?

the problem with the B18C2 is that many of the aftermarket cams require ATLEAST the compression ratio of ITR.. are you considering building up your bottom end with some hi-comp pistons?

also, +1 on changing your gearbox first. will do heaps more than cams will.
Thanks man, this is the type of answer I was hoping to get.

My goal, and why I was looking into doing this, is I'm after abit more sniff in the mid range. I would just like abit more power for those drives through through the mountains. Im not looking to build a straight line warrior. Anything that can put me close/equal to a stock Type R I guess?

As for Headers and Exhaust, no I do not have a good set up yet. The more I research the more Im realising I should probably get my engine breathing properly before upgrading camshafts. I think I'll finish off the I/H/E combo, then think about swapping these cams.

As for building the bottom end, I'm not sure if I'm prepared to go that distance just yet. That's why I was looking at the Skunk2 (and now Buddy Club) cams because they are designed specifically for the C2. The Buddy Club cams infact look like the best option.

Along with another $150 for OEM Springs and Retainers.

Realistically, would I expect to see a vast improvement over the stock cams?

Also thanks MikeyG for your input too!
