Default JRSC question

I have a GSR swap (B18C) in an EG hatch with CTR cams. I am thinking about a JRSC and want to know if the cams are okay to use with this or should I go back to my stock GSR cams? Which would give better performance? I know some guys use stock cams on a turbo set up but I haven't heard much on the supercharger.
Thanks

They should be fine, I ran stock B16 Civic Si cams and I heard of people using CTR cams with it also with good results. The biggest cam difference I saw was from decreasing the overlap. My JRSC picked up 20 HP and torque delivery was much smoother after I got some adjustable cam gears and retarded my exhaust cam by four degrees.*

* Disclaimer * - Every engine is different, so only adjust cam gears on a dyno to make sure you are actually doing some good. Don't adjust the cams too far, four degrees is a lot, I probably wouldn't even go that far on a bigger cam, maybe three degrees max. If your valves hit your pistons, the game is over and you lose.

I'm can't say about the intake cam for sure. I think it would be fine though. As for the exhaust cam, definately! you will see more power over the gsr exhaust cam. good luck and be sure to post some dyno charts when you get it done
