Default gsr vs b16 cams

is there a difference between the two? I have a b16 and a friend will sell me his gsr cams for $100. Will they make a difference, is it worth it? i searched and it is down, thanks

Well, yes the gs-r cams are a small difference from the newer b16a2 cams, but from the b16a1 it's like night and day. Now to the price, they go for 50-85$ I wouldn't personally pay 100$ unless it came with gears or other stuff...but thats just my $.02

thanks i did not know they were that inexpensive. I have a b16a obd0 so i guess it will make quite a difference then? oh and where might i be able to find gsr cams for that price?

On a second gen JDM B16, I lost three peak horsepower, but I did gain between two and four horsepower everywhere else in the powerband.

I don't think it's worth it. Like someone else said, spend a bit more on some itr or ctr cams.

Yeah no **** huh? It takes a whole lot of effort to look under the search feature and find 10 ******* answers to this SAME question. I realize the search feature is sometimes down, but for **** sakes, take a little bit of time of your own to answer your question rather than waste others....

GSR cams will make a little improvement, go for the ITR's or CTR's if you can
