Default B18 cams in a B16a Head?

I could have swore I saw someone doing this but im not 100% sure

Input on if it works and if it does if there are any decent power gains?

Which B18? Are you talking about a C1 or C5? With C1 (gsr) gams you will not notice any power difference. With C5 (ITR) cams you will gain some power and you will benefit more power-wise if you upgrade the valvetrain as well, although it's not necessary to run the cams if you don't rev past the stock redline. And this is all assuming that you will have the car tuned.

And no, you don't need to have the JDM cams. USDM cams will work also. Keep in mind that B16b (ctr) cams will also work and will net you some power as well.
