Re: wat r good turbo cams (T4eg)
Sorry to jack your thread, what would I benefit anything from having stock GSR cams, and getting some CAM GEARS?
Would I pull off any extra power from CAM GEARS alone, in boosted cars?
But yes, GSR cams seem to work awsome!

gsr/itr cams are superior competition in most scenerios. I'm not even talking about price as a driving factor too.
This is what Jeff Evans of Evans-tuning.com experienced:
Typical turbo cams have high lift, lower duration. This doesnt work well with honda engines. They like to make peak VE at higher rpms, and using a cam like this will ultimately limit the amount of scavenging that occurs in the higher rpm level. With a high lift, low duration turbo cam you'll make alot of midrange gain, but the top end will drop off since the engine wont be able to breath through the reduction in total valve time open (duration). One customer had a set of Crower turbo cams, he losted nearly 40whp at high boost compared to a pair of OEM b16a ones. OEM gsr and itr are really good at making high rpm whp that honda engines are known for.

Re: wat r good turbo cams (aalb1)
I also have a turboed b16...bone stock.
I experienced my cams dying off with power and torque up top just as any b16 cam would. I find it ironic that aftermarket turbo cams will do the same...they may beef up the midrange but they'll die off at the top just like the oem b16 cams...maybe even worse

Which makes no sense, considering the auto B16 cams are even smaller than the normal B16 cams.
