gsrs are generally pretty cheap to buy secondhand.....best oem cam overall goes to the ITR/CTR units. they make good, good power.

Gsr. The ctr/itr will need a late vtec point setting for turbo.

BEST OEM cam is ITR/CTR

Best bang for your buck OEM cam is GSR.

<FONT SIZE="6">BEST OEM CAM--- ITR </FONT>


HOWEVER. if you're setup is built, you'd find real good gains with larger all motor cams such as BLox B's .

Your choice of cam should be based on your turbo setup. A turbo setup with a very small turbine/housing and small volume exhaust manifold in theory should like GSR cams far more than ITR cams. A larger turbine/housing and a long runner manifold should prefer ITR cams or even more aggressive mild all motor cams. There have been posts about this where I explain why and how this worked in a very basic way. Do some searching if you want.

yea, and for the price that youd pay for itr or ctr cams, you could get a nice set of turbo aftermarket cams and since..

Go with whatever oem cam has the highest lift. And please don't go with GSRs over a cam that has higher lift than it. Just doesn't make sense.

Are GSR really much better than the b16 cams. I would think if you are gonna go through the truoble of changing them you sould get the ITR or CTR.
