PUtting together my new setup, and i'm wondering what cams to run..

b18a block (81.50)
arias pistons (9.5:1)
eagle rods
stock b16 head (rebuilt)
b16 cams
t3/to4E 60 trim
3" dp & exhaust

I have a set of gsr cams in another motor i could throw in, or i was wondering if i should get some itr cams/springs and throw those in. My goal is to make 400whp+ daily on pump gas. Would there be any trade offs if i were to run gsr cams and maybe a couple more psi, vs the itrs? Is it even possible to run ITR with those pistons?

 

GSR cams would work better than the B16 and ITRs would work better than either of them...

yea obviously....

My question is if its even possible with that setup, and if its worth the money to upgrade?

 

You could run the ITR cams with at a lower pressure ratio and have the same power. The benefit of doing this, rather than the GSR at a slightly higher pressure ratio, is two-fold. One, it is going to spool to the given pressure faster and two, it will make more power throughout the powerband with less effort. This also allows you to make more power on the setup with a certain grade fuel

Seeing as its not my money, yes its worth the upgrade. How can any of us decide what's "worth it" for you. Its your money. Knowing the results of switching cams, you should be able to make a decision on your own. We held your hand this far...
