ITR cams for $100? Sounds like a scam

A lot of people have good experiences with ITRs. But real ITRs that is. A lot of people have also been scammed to buying "ITRs" when they actually end up being GSR cams. Wheres the link?

LOL those are ssautochromes not OEM. They'll probably break once you lift them up.

i came up with the same question bout a month ago... and someone put it to me like this.. comp cams are good..but are better for V8s and CTR or ITR cams will be always better for hondas.. plus CTR (CIVIC TYPE R) cams are $300 each new... plus when it comes to cams.. (many people might disagree) but try to by new.. you never know how many actual miles are on a cam..

Why would you wanna pay close to $650 for cams that will give you only around 7hp throughout the curve?

Might as well buy brand new Skunk2 Stage 1s for $500 instead, which have a higher lift/duration than ITR/CTRs

Do not buy those "ITR" cams for $100! Those are guaranteed to be garbage. Just a warning.
