Butt Dyno FTW!

Na screw that just keep searching and you'll find it. Maybe not on here but some site has to have the specs on b17 and b16 cams.

The B17 cams are identical to the B16 cams. There is a SLIGHT difference in the earlier B16 cams against the B17 ones, not enough that I would do a swap. The GSR cams however ARE slightly more aggressive then the B16 ones. I noticed a decent difference switching to GSR cams in my 99 Si back in the day.

The B17 cams are more agressive than the early B16 cams. Try to find some gsr(B18) cams. I have tried all three with boost and the B18c1 cams seemed to perform the best.
