Well i finally finished i/h/e and now its time for some more mods. Now my goals for my car...200whp, but i would be happy with 185. My car is daily driven and has to be reliable. I was thinking of getting skunk2 stage 1's, but i haven't heard much about them on this board. Other cams in mind...

Toda A, B?, Jun 2

My only problem is that i'm on stock compression, so i don't know what would really go good with my car. Eventually i will upgrade my pistons to raise my compression but right now i want to get some cams and i do not want to switch them out later on. The cams i buy now are the only set of cams i want to buy. Anybody here have aftermarket cams on their GSR? And if you do can you please post a dyno of your results?

Do mild cams like toda A, skunk2 stage 1 benefit from raised compression like toda B's do? I heard putting B's into a fairly stock motor is a very BAD idea. I consider my motor fairly stock (i/h/e) so would this be a bad idea? If i put B's in my engine, would they be making the same if not more power than A's?

How would B's do on a 10.8:01 compression ratio? I was thinking of getting a spoon 1-layer head gasket and milling the head 30 thousandths.

Any suggestions are welcome except the following:
1) Go buy a new car
2) Go get a turbo/supercharger

I'm staying n/a and thats what I want to do. I love my car too much to sell it.

if you want 185 whp try this setup NOS, jk


but yea for a mildly modded GSR motor try
ITR cams
Cam gears
decent Header
AEM CAI
ECU or vtec controller both preferrably
A good clutch
Skunk intake manifold
FPR
and some tuning (a must)
no need for an over priced exhaust just run header out


all that put together should, key word SHOULD net you close to 185 whp depending on how "gifted" your motor is to start off with

I'm in the same boat you are, looking for around 185whp na. I will probably go with ctr cams. If i remember correctly 2 degrees more duration than itr cams. Then again you can get great deals on slightly used itr cams these days. I would also recommend the stuff in my sig plus the skunk 2 manifold and mild port and polish. That should do it.

oh i have ITR cams in my room. I haven't put them in my motor yet though. I already have a buyer for it, so i'm looking for something more aggressive. R cams are nice but i REALLY want a vtec rush
