hows that setup working for you?...et time?...fast rev?

also price and were to buy?

well its working great... I bought it at JRP in Toronto Canada and it was about 1200 CAD for the valvetrain and cams for my b16. I'd say with cam gears and the car tuned probably added about 15 to the wheels

I'm running full Crower. Crower 2 stage 2 strip/street cams, titanium retainers, and dual valve springs and they are excellent quality and work great. If I had to do it again, I would still spend the money and go Crower or Skunk2. Probably no other company though b/c the head is where most of an engines power comes from. Head porting is great if done right. If you cheapscate it then you will actually lose power.
