Default GSR Cams with LS/Vtec Turbo setup... yay or nay?

I bought a set of GSR cams for my b16 head..
What do you guys think, anyone notice a difference with them... I heard they are a pretty decent turbo cam for a b16 head...

OR am i totally out to lunch?

Any help would be nice

You're right, they will provide a significant gain in boosted engines over the b16.

In terms of b-series vtec turbo cams, they are the best bang for the buck....ITR's are better but cost quite a bit more.

BTW you could have searched, this has been discussed numerous times.

the GSR cams? You don't need to do anything...unless you want to rev higher.

I don't see any point in installing an ITR valvetrain unless you have ITR cams as well.

Get some adjustable cam gears too while you are at it if you have access to a dyno.

Push for ITR cams and aftermarket valvetrain. However GSR's should net more power over the B16's if you're on a budget...
