Default JDM GSR cams & USDM ITR cams.... Same thing?

Some one told me the cams profiles are the same. Is there any truth to this?

Im thinking about buying a more agressive OEM cam to replace my b16 cams, but do not want to spend an arm and leg on them. I found a set of JDM GSR cams for a good price, are they worth buying?

jdm gsr cams=usdm gsr cams. Not worth the money or hassle to switch them out. Just get ITR/CTR cams if you want oem.

I just want somthing a little more agressive for now. Later this summer when I am done with my bottom end, I will get Skunk2 Stage 2 cams. I can get a set of JDM GSR cams for like $75, and it takes me less then a hour to install and do a valve adjustment. Can somone post the cam profiles of the JDM b16a cam and GSR?

B16 cams < USDM/JDM GSR cams < 97-98 USDM ITR/95-97 JDM ITR cams < CTR/98+ JDM ITR cams

Why waste the money if you're getting Skunk cams laters? It's really not worth it.

Is the skunk 2 cam more aggressive than the CTR? I have never seen the numbers on the CTR so I am only assuming that they are.

I thought B16A and B18C1 cams had the exact same profile?
