**WHICH CAMS BEST FOR B16??**
I have a b16 in my crx and since t was originally a automatic from japan its the 150 hp version with the wussy cam profiles! 
its not fast enough for me!
well i am now going to buy some new cams! i was thinking about the skunk cams, you know 17+ hp with stock valvetrain! but some of my friends were telling me about the crower cams....and it got me thinking!
which cams would be best for my car it is my daily driver, so i need streetabliity, i am probably going to buy new springs and retainers too, so if the cams require this they might be ok....and i want to turbo my car later.
what cams do you suggest?
what cams do you have?
any pros/cons of any cams out right now for the b16?
i am looking to spend about 600-700$ on the cams but a little more isnt a big deal!
thanks a lot for the input!

Re: **WHICH CAMS BEST FOR B16??** (AJ PwR)
I have a friend who is also interested in this. He has an automatic EG9 JDM Civic SIR. Are there any pitfalls or special considerations when using the ITR cams. He plans to buy a set of AEM adjustable Cam gears and he has a Field SFC'VTEC controller.
Thanks,
CG.

which cams for the b16 will make power to 13 or 14k RPM's....
I am looking for a cam with enough overlap to love NOS.

yea dont bother with gsr cams.
and if your going to go turbo honestly i would wait because the CTR or ITR cams are high lift/duration and that dosent help turbo engines. (i think)
if you want some easy cheap HP invest in an ITR intake manifold.
15+hp ive heard. 250$ new from acura
