Replacing the VTC thingy will make it work, assuming you buy a good one

THe cheapest fix is just putting on a non vtc intake cam sprocket from a Redtop (and the bolt). You loose vtc though.

I was thinking about that but I think I want to keep the vtc. I just don't where to get one.

So what exactly would I need to eliminate it? And possibly run a set of stage 2 cams.
