get the CTR cams, they have more lift on the intake side than the ITR cams.

It all depends on how much power you want. What type of racing will you be doing?

Actually, the lift is identical, the CTR intake cam has 3 more degrees of duration though. Exhaust cams are the same for ALL B series R cams

The 2000+ ITR intake cam is the exact same as the 98+ CTR, both exhausts have always been the same... The intake cam over a GSR is noticable but i wouldn't worry about the exhaust... Now on a B16 that's a different story, I ****** hate stock B16 cams and I would get both the intake and exhaust.. The OE R cams are much easier to tune then high lift long duration aftermarket cams... If you wanna go with some big aftermarket cams have a high compression setup with a ported head then be ready to tune it cuz TUNING IS EVERYTHING ... Latez
