Default B16A2 Cams vs GSR cams?

I have turbo B16A2 motor in my 2000 Civic SI, and I was wondering if it makes any sense changing the B16 cams to a set off GSR cams.??? I heard the GSR cams will be better for the B16 when boosting.??

Do any of you know the SPEC'S on the both cams??? eg: duration, rpm range and intake and exhaust specs.???
I did a search for this on google but not coming across any strong answers, you get different specs from different adds on google..

look foward to your experience and comments...

I don't think it would be worth my time for tiny cams.
I'm pretty sure the only decent OEM upgrade is the ITR/CTR sets as theyre comparable to most aftermarket stage 1 cams and require minimum modifications.
