b18c cams in a b16a?
i was wondering becuase i have an b16a that used to be automatic....and i heard the automatic cams are less agressive.....so my friend was some b18c cams laying around and im thinking of getting them....what are the pros and cons of putting the cams in the b16

my cousin did this when his brother blow a hole in his b18c1 block. he swaped out the b18c1 cams over to his b16. from what i can remember, he could feel a slight difference. had a little bit more toruqe in the low and mid, but the top felt the same. never had a chance to dyno it, so i can't give you numbers. so, it'll be fine.

I'm pretty sure we're talking like 3hp or something like that. You only get like 5hp out of skunk2 cams without a tune and right around ten with a tune, with the stage 1's that is.

Gsr cams only worth around $50.00 today on the used market, don't pay anymore than that. But typeR cams is much better for both N/A and boost, They sell for around $150.00 to $350.00 use, do not pay to much for them because you can get Skunk2 for a little more and more aggressive with warranty...and better performance all around...
Good luck....
