ctr/itr + boost = big numbers

I don't have dyno charts handy but if you search around there are plenty of gsr vs ctr/itr cams examples to be found.

I made an additional 50hp switching from GSR to ITR cams. Same boost level (pump gas).

You had a better tuner this time though, your results don't count.

Everybody bow to Tony. He's feeling down and needs an ego boost.

if you have the extra change buy a set of itr/ctr cams. if not then keep the gsr...ive seen 800+whp on gsr cams.

Any major gains on a low boost application 7psi?

I made 272whp at 7psi on a stock gsr, just looking for a few things that could get me close to 300!

icbmotorsport/jdmland sells brand new CTR intake cams ... not sure about exhaust.... you can find them on ebay now and again.

Also - if i'm not mistaken, blox/skunk2 stage 1's are basically a 98+ ITR/CTR cam grind.

why spend money on ctr cams when you can get off the shelf turbo cams from comp cams. they made 50+ more then the ctrs i had on just the change out itself and i picked them up for 450 huge power gains across the board from 5500rpm +

ctr intake cams are great and the type r and ctr exahaust cams are the same in duration it's better to have one ctr cam (intake side) and either ctr or type r (exhaust side)

Maybe with your setup it was a little different, but from what I have read ITR/CTR or GSR cams are what you want on a honda motor. Certain turbos cams will just get you less power. Plenty of people have made 500+whp with OEM cams and there have been a few that made 800+whp I believe, so they are defintely capable.
