Default Help with cams..

Here's my situation.

As you all know, I have two Hondas. In my Civic, I have a B20B block with B16A head, stock internals. In my Integra, I have a B18C engine, with ITR spec98 cams + AEM trutime cam gears.

Now, I hear that having these particular cams is not really that good in a turbocharged environment. And my B20B feels sluggish. Should I swap the cams from both cars, giving the B20B the ITR cams (without the cam gears) and put the B16A cams into my teg (which would be adjustable, since I have the cam gears)?

Help!

no one can help me with this at all?

basically what i'm hearing, is that you can make more power in a turbocharged environment with B18C/B16A cams than with ITR cams, because of the amount of overlap.. i'm a little confused about the whole thing, but I know my B20B will benefit from the ITR cams, but will my B18C like the idea of running on B16A cams?

b20's n/a respond very well to cams...the case might be the same. Why don't you just try the ITR exhaust cam? I know that works on supercharged GSR's and B16s

Well, would there be any advantage over the ITR cams by running B16A cams in my boosted B18C? I don't want to have a half-ITR half-B16A cam mixture in my B20B, I don't think it would like it that much..
