What are the best cams that I can buy to put on a stock JDM b16 I have short ram intake and Full exhaust right now.

Unless you're getting a new ECU, the factory Honda CTR cams work the best. With new valve springs and retainers.

nice OEM CTR/ITR cams would work just fine

I have ITR cams, I love them. The VTEC screams, and they actually pull a little harder.

buddy club spec 3's are good for a stock motor.....

PURPLETERROR aka BIGMATT

Ctr/Itr cams, or spend a little more and get buddy club 3+

How much are the buddy club 3+

with the CTR cams, if u dont upgrade the valve springs and retainers is there a chance u can float the valves or damage something?

You should be fine if you don't go over the stock revlimit.....

But I would upgrade them to tap into the power above that (i think they produce power up to about 8500-8700)

Also....I don't know if the valve spring/retainer life is reduced because of the increased lift

He'll never get to 8700 RPM with a stock ECU.

what ecu program would you suggest then? supposed to pick up some 00 ITR cams this weekend and I still don't know what I'm gonna do about the ecu. local tuners say to dyno-tune and run uberdata or crome, but that is because they get to charge me the dyno fees. i just would like a program that would work better with the cams than my stock P30.

can a b16 safely rev to 9k daily or when u feel like pushin it?

typeoneeg6

with springs and retainers that can handle it.

Kyles ej1

i know the head can if u get springs and retainers but can the blocks internals rev that high?

DelSolDon

first to fail in the bottom end is supposedly the rod bolts. can't remember when, but the occasional 9k redline should be OK, but not everyday.

Good ol' Screwtape

easily.

but it's not necessary to rev even a stock ITR motor, let alone a b16, to 9000 grand. they don't make power up there and it just causes useless wear on you internals.
