Default Quick advice on cams

Looking to upgrade my cams before I go to get my car tuned. The car is a weekend driver. Only real concern is to make the engine more efficient. The set up is as follows:

Dart block 1.8l
wiseco 9:1
eagle rods
stock gsr crank

b16 head ported and polished
stock valves
brian crower springs and retainers
gsr cams

afi topmount manifold
gt30r
3 inch dp
victor x manifold

1000cc injectors
hondata s200


The car is lightly tuned now at 475whp @ 18psi but I feel a cam could really help the motor make power more efficiently.

The tuner1's would be plenty. The pro1s kick *** but are overkill for turbos that are smaller than a 35r. I have the pro1s and used a pte5857 turbo last year and they didnt do anything for me. For use of the pro1s, the turbo should flow a certain lb/min. I cant think of it off the top of my head but it equates out to a 35r.

Tuner1, CTR/ITR, Blox B's...any of them would be better than a set of GSR cams

I like the Blox B's too. For the price you cant beat it. We ran those cams on my brothers car the past 2 years and made great results on the dyno. Great powerband too. Like other's have said pro1's are really ment for a 35r or bigger

I never tried the Blox B's, but I've heard from a few people that they're like a slightly more aggressive ITR/CTR cam and work great for the price. Glad to hear it from someone else finally
