Default Do I need to upgrade my valvetrain...?

I am running a completely stock first gen b16a head on my setup. I am looking for a mild upgrade in power. I have some brand new ITR dual valve springs (not installed) and a looking for some used or new itr steel retainers.
I have come across a friend who basically got a steal of a deal on a gsr motor that he now plans on building.

I am wanting to now if I were to install these gsr cams would I have to upgrade my stock b16 head ? Would it even be worth it to put these in? I am only interested in this because I can get the cams dirt cheap.

My sig is what I made for power on a mustang dyno.

My setup-
-b18c1 block, crank
-9.1 comp. Mahle pistons
-bone stock first gen b16a head
-b16 tranny w/ lsd
-eagle rods
-ramhorn mani
-garret 57 trim t3/t4
-3" turbo back exhaust
-RC 550's
-Walbro255
-p28 tuned w/ free crome @ 1bar

yes you can just install the GSR cams. I did it on my B16 head years back and they work a lot better than those B16 cams. You will be better off doing that than using B16.

Im not going to add more even though i want to in what cams would be even better.....lol


PS: *whispering* ITR/CTR cams
