I am building an gsr block, b16a(jdm) head, with LS rods for a ls vtec powerband(torque wise). I will be running boost upwards to 20 psi. My question is would my b16 cams be good or should I go with gsr,ctr, or itr cams? I want to use stock cams. I will have forged block internals and will be replacing the springs and retainers with most likely supertech or equivalent for sake of argument. Assuming my valves and valve keepers are in good shape they will not be replaced. Thanks for any helpful input!

 

ctr or itr

I got mine.

 

From the sound of it GSR cams will work just fine for you. Save the extra flow and spend it on something else.

 

But any of those over my b16 cams? Would my b16 cams be good though. I thought I read somewhere that the b16 cams, oh never mind it's the head flow of a b16 compare dto a itr. How about the b16 cams?

 

ok I have to ask this since it wasn’t said in the original post..... you are running the LS crank also right?

I would run ITR cams if I were you

 

If you don't want to shell out the cash for ITR/CTR cams send me a PM as I have some GSR cams for sale.

 

CTR

 

Just got my mazworx cams!!!

 

yes, I'm ruuning a ls crank with stock ls rods.

Have you ran it yet?

But alway to answer your question, GSR cams are better then B16, ITR/CTR is better then GSR and Mazworx cams if you are Ballin

FWIW, mazworx cams are similar in price to brand new ctr/itr cams.

 

yeah i got mine slightly used but in great shape. They should go nicely with my gt4202....I've seen those things make power past 11k......scarey ****

 

haha you and me both !! (mazworx+4202)
