I'm in a runt.. I'm in the market for cams.. But I can't deciede on which ones... Do any of you know the pros and cons of each of these cams..??

Skunk2, ITR, CTR, JUN, TODA, Crower, etc.....


or

 

I might as well tell you now before someone else does.......<U>do a search.</U> There is tons of info on each of those cams because the question is asked so often.

 

I have heard skunk2 cams break, and someone saying crower cams suck too..
personally Im looking to buy cams too.. although Im leaning towards JUN cams....

 

I'm gonna grab the ITR cams for my GSR,i don't know,for some reason i feel good about them.I think its reliable,it a honda product,and there are good gains from them

 

JUNs 3's and Toda C's if u want to try to get over 200whp

Toda B's and Jun 2's if u want 200 whp and good midrange

ITR and CTR can max at 190whp and great midrange - good bang for the buck (CTR cams are a waste for just a tad more duration)

Skunk2's are similiar to the ITR and CTR but has more potential due to higher lift and duration than ITRs

 

Question,with ITR cams on a GSR,do you think dc 4-2-1 is good for them being your getting good midrange from the cams?Or 4-1 all the way?

 

i know jdm products are what everyone is thriving for, hell i even have a jdm conversion on my gsr, but one question, why pay premium for jdm aftermarket when i'm sure american companies like skunk2 or crower build great products. i think they are capable products with the same tuning potential as jun or toda. oh well just a quesion, i better not get flamed for this!!

 

Personally I've only seen 1 good dyno chart from the ever popular JDM header.And it was a kid from this sight who posted them.If you go to integra dyno center online you'll see several typeR's with and without cams getting 0 hp to the wheels from those headers.I personally have no idea whats really good these days and whats not.Only way for me to trully find out would be getting your car dynoed,with mods.

 

personally i'd go with the 4-1 from your choices....but if i were to get the cams, i'd get the jdm 4-1 or dc jdm one.

u can get midrange with the other cams also......something called TUNING
with camgears

 

I'm going with Jun 2 cams and W/ their Valve train. It's expensive but i heard honda helps them w/ the specs.

 

go get some jun type 3's skunk stage 3 cams are pretty good for the $$$$$

 

NO ONE HAS EVER EVER KNOWN ABOUT TUNING CAM GEARS BEFORE!!!!!!!YOU MUST BE THE FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey silvergsr, I'm selling JUN stage2 cams, JUN valve springs, and AEM can gears. $1000 for everything. All parts are new and in the boxes. Interested?

 

i just installed my skunks over the weekend. very nice cams! i had ITR's in previous. the skunks pull much better.

 

Mmmh, I believe that's a good price

 

i have one question, everyone says "dont bother going with the CTR's cause theyre only a little better than ITR's" now i dont get that cause if theyre a little better and around the same price, well then why wouln't you get them? Just wondering.

 

IF and only if you can find them close to the same price. Alot of stores charge an extra arm just for the CTR intake cam. If you can find them simliarly priced, i would say go for it.

 

you cant just throw a cam in your car and it will run great and add mad HP. cams like JUN and Toda need a lot of tuning to run right (JUN 3's, TODA C's). If you have a good tuner then go for the big lobes but if you dont have a tuner the go with a honda cam, just dont expect a lot out of a the ITR or CTR cams compared with the Toda or Jun.......

 

on jdm honda parts theres only a $10 difference.

 

this is a common misconception. to make the power ITR or CTR cams deserve... they require just as much tuning as Jun 3s deserve... not quite as much as toda C's... but the concept is the same.

I dont care what kinda cam you run... expect a need for a new ecu, a fpr, a vafc, or a standalone unit. Not to mention cam gears. Only when you tune all of these, i dont care waht kinda cam you have, will you see your true potential.

 

go toda!
