Default Worth it to buy gsr cams($50)?

Well, i have a gsr block with a b16 head with the stock b16 cams(from 99 si).Do you think i would benefit any from using GSR cams over the b16s and would it be worth it for 50 bucks?

Throw those bad boys in there, why not... For $50? I doubt you can find CTRs for 10 times that.

Totally up to you but Id suggest that if you plan on buying better cams in the near future put the 50 bucks toward better cams. There will be minimal gains. b16 gsr and b17 are really really really close to the same cam profiles. You could buy them and sell em to make profit cause 50 bucks is dirt for those. Check out http://technet.ff-squad.com/ This site has a write up about this thats great.
