PRODUCT DETAILS
Your D16Y8 Civic needs camshafts that deliver double-digit horsepower gains across the RPM range. The Brian Crower Stage 2 cams are meticulously crafted to extract maximum power and torque, with profiles available for naturally aspirated or forced induction builds. Pick the right version for your setup and you'll see measurable gains without going full-race extreme.
Stage 2 cams improve airflow by changing valve timing and lift characteristics. The result is better cylinder fill, increased power, and sharper throttle response. You get double-digit horsepower gains in optimized setups. The Stage 2 profile sits between stock (mild gains) and Stage 3 (aggressive race cam).
Each cam kit requires upgraded valvetrain components. You'll need dual valve springs, retainers, and seats to handle the more aggressive lift and timing. Valve keepers are recommended for peak performance and reliability at higher RPM. Make sure your shop has the right components before installing these cams. Don't try to run Stage 2 cams on stock valve springs.
Brian Crower builds every cam profile with precision grinding and then dyno-tests it to ensure the numbers are real. You're getting proven performance, not marketing hype. The Stage 2 works well for both NA builds seeking higher RPM capability and forced induction builds relying on tuned airflow. Fits 1996-2000 Honda Civic with D16Y8 engine.
