I was going to pick up some gsr cams for my lsv. its b18b bottom and b16a1 head, all stock. I was wondering if I should go ahead and buy them for $75. Is it going to give me more power then what i have already? Better high end?

help im a newb...... did a search too and found some info but not exactly what i need to know.

hey man honestly in my opinion i would get some aftermarket cams some crowler or skunks.But i know some people that have gsr cams n gsr injector and the bitch rolles out for wut it iss.. it all depends on the person im building lsvt turbo right now man .. i had lsvt with the crowler stage 2 and i loved it .. but nevers used gsr cams . i prolly just do it man 75 bucks is 75 dont like them i got a set of b16 cams

if i save and get crowler, skunk2, or toda cams will i see anything without tuning? i mean i never took apart an engine so for $75 bucks is it worth it with the labor to get the gsr's or wait for some aftermarket ones.

I'm troubled with a similar decision but with a B20 block (low comp) and B16 head.

A stock block LS/VTEC is only around 9.6:1 compression - will going for a larger cam than the GSR be worth it?

There's a few sets of ITR cams for sale locally but in my case with 9.2:1 if I'm lucky, will there be any gain over the stock B16 cams or the GSR cams?

gain over stock b16 cams or the gsr cams....

hopefully someone will help us more.

i swapped out my b16 cams for some gsr cams in my b16 head. you'll get a little bit of a power gain, 10 hp at the most. you can't buy anything better than gsr cams without replacing your entire valvetrain and that gets expensive. keep that in mind! if you're not getting a tune i would just leave it alone. you *MIGHT* notice a difference with the gsr's.

thanks for the input. what kind of tune would you need?

i did not pick up the gsr cams because the possiblity of not making gains with it. anyone have any other opinons?

gsr cams i heard are a bit more aggressive then b16. I havent seen dyno sheets to prove my answer. But if you want to see a bit more power just run ITR or CTR cams.

seen someone on here selling gsr cams for real cheap but how hard is it to install? if its gonna be a little complicated then i guess its not worth it for the gsr's. how much are itr cams? i havent really seen any being sold.

I paid 20 bucks for some gsr cams and put them in a b16 motor, the def made a diff. vtec was noticeably louder. for the money if you get a good deal on them you cant really go wrong. type r cams are way better, even with your compression, but its a whole different price range. but you will figure out all motor stuff isn't cheap. gotta pay to play.
