anybody using type r cams with boost?

im trying to figure out if gsr cams will yeild more power, or if the type R cams will do the trick,

this is in a b16a

 

Jackson Racing recommends stock cams. YMMV.

Q: Do Chip and Cam upgrades help with the Supercharger? Back to Top
A: These upgrades are not recommended. Chips are made for Normally Aspirated engines and the fuel map is manipulated to make the car run leaner and the timing curve is slightly advanced as well. Both of these can and will be detrimental to any forced induction car. A fully programmable ECU along with larger injectors however is a different matter all together. We have tried a number of different cams in our applications as well and have never found anything better than the stock cams. We have tried Type R cams in our GSR and lost 10HP. We have tried GSR cams in a Type R and lost 10HP. In our Civic SI we have tried 3 different sets of cams and lost anywhere from 10-13HP. On one set however we were able to tune a 13HP loss to only a 3HP loss with cam gears and 3 hours on the dyno. There may be a set of cams out there that works but we have never found them.

 

i guess i should clarify that i will be running a rev hard kit.

A freind is running gsr cams in his vortec b16 and he gained like 10whp from just the cams.

 

my friend gained 23 hp on his boosted gsr by adding type r cams.

 

Its harder to tune the overlap but its very feasible. Most will say just tackle the GSR cams and if you want the extra 10whp then just crank up the boost .

If you have a good tuner then by all means you can throw on some ITR cams. But if your already using GSR cams then I don't see the reason in spending 300-350 to get ITR cams then installing them. Just my 2 cents.

 

well i already have itr cams,

im wondering if i should sell them and put my b16 cams back in and use the money toward getting the misc, turbo stuff that i need.

 

put it this way the type R cams are working awesome for me and i dont even have cam gears.
dont rely on all the hype of getting rid of ITR cams.
my head is bone stock to the T and it works great, so i must be doing something right
