Instead of spending money on cams which you probably won't tune at all, save that money for a turbokit which will actually make your car fast instead of just bad on gas.

Work from the outside in. Do you have any bolt-ons to begin with?

I have read that type R cams are pretty damn good, even compared to alot of aftermarket cams. Plus, if you put Type R cams in a B16, isnt that basically a type R head?

Will B16 LMA's support ITR cams? For some reason I was thinking they were different, but I may just be stupid.

Well if he wants to go N/A cams are a must. And I get good gas mileage with my Skunk2 Stage 2s...

lol no. an ITR head has dual valvespings and has a minor port.

I ran CTRs in my B16. Perfectly fine. Just threw them in, nothing else.

In my opinion it depends on price. I think the Skunk2 Stage 1s are just slightly more aggressive than the CTR/ITRs. So w/e is the better deal is fine.
