    a colt triflow cam would probably be a fairly good cam to start out with

    Hey man, I'm up near Chicago. Good to see a fellow midwesterner.

    For a cam either a Colt or Delta stage 1. The Delta is a tad more aggressive I think but both are good. I happen to have the Colt and I like it. The valve train is pretty good to start with so you really don't need to do anything there as far as upgrades. You should check the rocker pads though for wear. Replace or recondition if they are worn. Using worn rockers on a new cam can make the cam wear out faster. Obviously look for other worn parts too. I had to replace one of the rocker shafts when I rebuilt my head.

    I have heard of Sturgeon Bay. And I've been up near there on the way to Mackinac Island.

    I have to admit though I don't actually have a 3g Accord. I have a 2g Prelude. Very similar though, and same engine/trans. 3geez has more technical info about engines and stuff than Preludepower.com. So I hang around here too.
