First off (and this is somthing that always bugs me) You put a cam gear on it........But what about a Cam?? Cam gears are made so you can adjust the Valve timing for tuned Camshafts. Plus none of these are gonna give you a HUGE gain. Maybe your best bet is the Intake Mani.

Sounds like if you're losing time it could be somthing as stupid as needing a tune-up. Clean the Air intake, new plug, Wires, Cap, Rotor. Honestly you're not gonna get anything serious out of a D motor unless it's Built to High hell, or you run a Blower or Snail.

One thing that bothers me about that Artical is it makes it sound like you can't improve on stock.........and that's not true. If you don't know what you're doing then Yeah leave it stock. I'm 21 and have been working on Hondas since I was 10. My dad has been working on them since the 70's and when he was my age was head of a pit crew for a Funny Car, and I learned everything from him. People like me with the background and knowlage that I've obtained can improve. I don't mean to sound full of myself though. I sit for sometimes months planing my next Major Mod. The most recent one I've been planing for over a year. Meanwhile some tool kid with a DC5 is pissed at me casue the intake and header I put on isn't making him hit 10's. Most of these kid don't understand the blood and sweat that goes into these cars that actually produce power.

Sorry though.....I had to get that out.
