yes they would not much but they have a longer lift and duration than the B16 cams and the vtec lobes are more aggressive, if your going to spend 350 on ITR cams why not go skunk2 stage 2 cams?? the ITR cams are equivelant to a mild stage 1

The CTR and ITR have upgraded valve springs over the stock B16A2 to begin with. Using CTR cams will net you gain, but personally, if I had a B16 I would get a much heftier set of cams and valvetrain. Make your B16A2 eat a B16B. For quick compression get a Mugen head gasket (or spoon but I'd get the mugen) and have the head milled a few thousanths, if you don't want to swap pistons. Remember that if you mill the head you'll want to retard cam timing a couple of degrees, then advance ignition timing by a few degrees. Haha, I'm getting a little ahead of the topic here.
But if you're truly set on using Type-R cams in your stock B16A2, yes you will get gains, just remember the stock valvetrain's limits.

with the lack of torque in a b16, you would gain from upgrading the valve train and revving the **** out of it with a good set of cams.
you also gotta consider what you do with the car. are you keeping it na? going turbo? etc....

so ITR cams are not a bad idea haha
from what everyones saying i should notice somewhat of a difference?
now if those cams are in, where the vtec kicks in, would that be affected?
im sorry ive only had my honda for like 5 months haha and i dont know much about it

If you want to do it right, find yourself a ITR/CTR valvetrain and either the 99-00 itr cams or a set of ctr cams. If you find just an intake cam that should be good too since the exhaust cams are so close that the gains arent really noticeable.

Are there any down side to just putting a intake cam without changing out the valvetrain. I wonder cause im always a thumbs up for power. And I have a B16 with a greddy turbo setup. Lemme know what you guys think?
