camshafts
i have a 96 gsr with just an aem v2 intake. i wanna make more power and i heard that camshafts is the way to go. im thinking about getting stage 1 or itr ones.
if i replace my cams, what else will i need to replace and how much will it be total.
was thinking about going ihe first but i heard camshafts will produce more power.

skunk2 stage 1s are a nice cam they are a tiny bit larger tehn 00-01 ITR and CTR cams, however u will need some sort of engine management with those cams(even though it is somewhat of a suttle change in A/f ratio, u can get away with a VAFC (i don't really recommend the VAFC), and just alter the vtec engagement point...
With that said i would first start with your h/e and maybe a skunk2 intake mainfold and then throw the cams in there u will feel a nice gain

Re: (1turbodc2)
thanks for the input.
i guess ill get the headers next(dc 4-1) manifold(probably blox or skunk2 pro) then exhaust (greddy evo2)
i wanna get the exhaust last cuz that stands out the most and i have enough tickets already.

before i went to boost, i had this set up skunk2 stage 1 cams, skunk2 intake, hondata gasket, comptech header, comptech ice box, apexi n1, vafc 2, aem 5 bolt adj cam gears, which seems u are going in the same direction u will get nice gains from that set up...
the greddy exhuast is legal and it is not that loud, u can also go with an rsr exhuast which are really quite but give u the performanace
on the header i would look around more d/c is an okay header, i would maybe look for a higher quality one

Re: (LongsGSR87)
Not on a Stage 1 upgrade, stage 2 or higher yes. I have the blox type A's which are supposed to be very similar to the Skunk stage 2s. You will need engine management and I was able to get my car chipped and tuned with Crome for roughly $150.
I think cams are a great investment and will give you the most bang for the buck without going turbo. If you are planning on I/H/E and IM too, I'd get all of that stuff first because it doesn't necessarily need to be tuned, but once you drop in cams you definitely need to be tuned.

Re: (OliGSR)
i got some ITR cams for sale if u interested. $270 for them. u dont need upgraded valvetrain, just keep your rev limiter at 8k and you'll be fine. just remember to change the vtec X over higher to avoid bogging. a skunk2 manifold would be nice along with it too
