I'v always thought/heard that CTR cams made more HP/TQ than GSR's?! but i just read a thread where ppl actually said the GSR's are a better cam for turbo and will make for a better power band & more HP??

Every dyno chart i've seen would prove a differn't theory between the two.

 

type-r cams. simple and very effective for boosted cars. GSR cams are only better than B16cams

CTR cams are pretty agressive. I believe Tye-r's will get what you need

 

Thanks, keep the comments coming...i'm looking to make around 450-500WHP on a 81.5mm 9.1comp GSR w/ls crank & gt3582r

yeah R cams or skunk 2 cams. R cams are nice though and you can use them on GSR springs and retainers if you keep the revs to 8.5k

 

ctr/itr cams rock... or skunk2 tuner 1's Mr Evans saw a 30-40hp gain on a high hp setup over the ctr/itr cams with the tuner 1s.. Tuner 1s are easy on the valve terrain, idle like stock, partial throttle drive ability is great and most of the time require no cam gear adj.

 

..Do a search, this topic has been coverd alot. CTR best OEM cam for boost.

 

i was wondering the same question about my car. currently running gsr cams in a ls/v turbo setup. I want a aggressive sound idle but not be impossible to drive on the street. are thte skunk2 stage 2's more aggressive than a R cam?


Not trying to thread jack , i was just about to make a thread about my question so i figured i'd ask since we have similiar questions. Didnt want to clutter the board

 

get r cams they work great on that set up. When i was fully built that kept 40hp from my set up

 

i got type r cams in my car, i think they work great on a mild turbo build street car.

I'm pretty sure you have to keep the revs to 8400, stock revlimit, as to avoid valve float.

 

either cam will do for the power you want. i run CTRs and made over 660whp on the turbo you are planning on using. it's all good stuff

excuse my 100rpm diff

 

I run CTR cams in my street car and they make great power. see sig for power

 

dyno what you have now if you dont like it move up to the CTR/ITR and get cam gears
