if you want to be a baller go with pro 1's but you lose alot of drivablity, gsr's and ctr's are a very good all around choice though. both of these cams have made over 600 hp

made over 500 on gsr's in a b16.

with your 2.0 i would think you would need a bigger cam. the pro 1s are awesome, usinn maz/innes cams over 700 1.9 gsr.

it really depends what you are doing with the car. from my experience, the bigger cams usually raise the power band. i like the gsr's for a street car. the itr's make more power, but loose a little mid range.

I agree. What are your goals? Are you willing to give up drivability and idle for a more aggressive cam? Spending goals?

I used crowers and my bottom end is sik as hell but I drop off in the top but Im not a drag racer anyway . I would go with the itrs or so if I want to constantly see high rpms.
