whos tuning it? How? Crome/hondata/uberdata/AEM/motec/vafc?
Did you do any headwork (porting, valve job, combustion chamber work, mill)?
Whats the setup in terms of bolt-ons?
What sized injectors?
This looks nice, but u need to give more details

Didnt do any headwork this time around, kept it stock. Later on I might go with a GSR head instead and do the work on that.
Build is a 1.8 LS block, fresh bore and hone, weisco 12:1 piston on eagle rods. B16 head all buddy club valve train, buddy club spec 3+ cams, 68mm TB, slight ported blox intake manifold, rc 440's, rage header (check honda-tech) to a Buddy Club Spec III Pro Spec Racing Spec Exhaust (thanks to John Lo)
Thats about it, so hopefully come Monday I'll have dyno graph and some pics and numbers. I hope it doesnt rain

cams are too small for the set up and compression. other than that, looks good. i'm just trying to figure out why your set up is designed for top end, but, you are using a midrange street cam? BC 4's or Blox B's would have been a much better choice.

Well to be honest I bought these cams like a year ago when they first came out. and I was gonna use CTR pistons.
Then I just recently got the weisco's and didnt really even think about the cams. But I have to pass etest with these anyways so for now I really dont care. I think these will work well for what I need. Keep in mind this is my daily driver at this point

they are good cams, don't get me wrong. Its just that with 12:1 CR you could make more power with bigger cams and rev out to like 9000rpms. JunIII's would suit you well.
Well if this engine is going into a 1993 Honda Civic DX Hatchback like your identification says then you can run your car as a hot-rod, in which case its pretty damn hard to fail b/c the limits are way higher.
But, use what you've got b/c you'll still be happy with the broad torque curve these cams will provide.
