I've desided to do a build on a 5S-FE out of curiousity as to how much power I can get out if it ... right now the plans are for an N/A build. I was having trouble finding cams for the engine and upon search the forum, it seems that Webcams are basically my old choice. Is this correct? Do I really have to pay over $700 for a set of cams? I'm so used to Honda's ... do you have any idea what kind of cams I can buy with $700+ for a B-series Honda? Is this my only option for cams?

Hey man, I went with colt cams and got 30 whp gain with a dyno tune and only spent $585 for my cams ($100 for a used set of 5sfe and $485 from colt cams for the grind). The helper shims were a perfect fit too and were included from colt cams in the deal. I've put over 4,000 miles on my car since the cam install and I love it. Definitely worth the money. PM me if you need info.
