Default Type-R Cams!

Are Civic Type-R cams ok for boost or are they have a to aggressive profile for boost? Anyone out there with them boosting and have no problems?

I think they are a fine cam to use with a turbo...nothing bigger, however.

I'd stick with GSR cams.

Its been discussed many times. You may find more info in a search. But from what I understand GSR cams are better and easier to tune. Now if you can tune the overlap effectively, then it will all work out.

why not just sell them, buy some gsr cams and have yourself with left over money (i've got gsr cams with 9k on them, if your interested. looking for 80 shipped, includes stock cam gears.)

NEARLY the same cam. The results would be identical. I'll be running CTR cams with boost.

ctr cams will give more flow on the top end, at least so says the fellows at import builders.
