I have heard of the combination of a ctr intake cam and itr exhaust cam working real good. I believe it was that way correct me if im wrong.

Exhaust cams are the same for the CTR/ITR.

ITR cam upgrade makes good power gains up top... skunk2 stage 2 cams would be a better power increase and about the same cost.

same cost? no, CTR or ITR's go way cheaper used, and do not need to upgrade valvetrain like if went with Stage 2 Skunks.

On a stock 1.6 it won't gain much. Small displacement with not enough compression.

If anything Stage 1.

Skunk2 cams vs. ITR CTR cams are relativley the same cost NEW. Buying used cams is not that great of an idea. you never know how well they were handled, installed, uninstalled, ect. plus ITR or CTR cams are belived to be the most realiable cams out there. period.

I have them on my b16. You will gain top end but will lose a bit on the bottom end.
