Most people will tell you to stick with the stock cams. Even more people will tell you to search. I just found a post that might help. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=729505

GSR cams work very well... Better than b16 cams, and type r cams have also been known to make good numbers.... so stock https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

but every performance shop i go to say b16 cams are weakest out there and gsr aren't much better. money doesn't matter, i just want the best that can give me the best numbers.

Do a search on it, there are plent of guys making 300, 400, 500, and even 600whp on stock GSR cams.

dont you have a b18-non-vtec head? The gsr, type r, or b16 cams wont work.

Money always matters. If it doesn't, send me a couple grand.

Don't listen to those shops. Most guys making big power are still using stock cams.

thanks you guys, but if you have any more info please post

Not trying to be a dick, but looking at your setup, why dont you get rid of the fuel manag. and spend the money you would on cams on Hondata or something worth while.

I agree with tegedrex. Spend your money on fuel managment. Once you have EVERYTHING else done and you need cams for more power I have heard that toda makes a good turbo cam.

For now I will stick with my stock type R cams. I had a thread along these same lines recently and people actually gained some power putting in GSR cams instead of the type R. Just keep in mind these people were well over 400HP.

The man makes a good point. I think if you lost that FMU and went back to Hondata you could turn up the boost and tune it and make WAAAAAY more power than any set of cams.

dude, if everybody would just read the post then you won't ask questions like this, i am building a new engine, i am no longer doing anything to my ls, i am building a 2.3 b20b w/ b16 head, i will get hondata, but i am not modifying my ls any further, all i am asking is your opinion on cams for that setup

Re: Best cams for turbo (weraider30)
 

I havent seen any recent dynos using turbo cams. most go with gsr or itr cams and are making 500+ hp on some nice turbos.

in short i havent seen any solid info that aftermarket cams make more power on turbo hondas than oem.
