i had this conversation on friday night with my cousin who decidedto go lsvtec turbo with a b16 head. at first, he couldn't believe me. then on saturday, came on honda-tech. search'd and found ppl's posts and dyno sheets. then he believes me that the gsr cams out perform. pssh. hahaha. now he has to convince his other cousin. lol

but yes. as stated above in answre of your question.

the b17 cams are the same as b16. So no there's no point in swapping to b17 cams.

As for the CTR cams...i've heard mixed reports. I've seen dyno sheets showing decent HP gains over GSR cams...many thing the exhaust cam has too much duration though.

Personally, I think a CTR intake cam and GSR exhaust cam would be an awesome combo for boost.
