I have the CTR intake cam but I don't have the exhaust cam.
Will it be safe and will I get power from just having the CTR intake and B16 exhaust cam in my motor?

becasue they only double the valvespring on the intake side, you're doing the safer thing by only having the one in there, but by no means safe, it will give a slight performance boost, and will make you want to use the rpm, which in turn may cause your stock b16a valvesprings to fatigue and fail early, or you may possibly float a valve one day.
