Default Are ITR cams a BIG improvment over B16a cams?

Right now I have JDM b16a cams in my LS/Vtec setup. Im thinking about an upgrade to ITR cams to go along with the rest of my ITR valve train (inner and outer springs, valves, and retainers). Would I notice a big difference with the ITR cam? Would Vtec kick in and pull harder to redline?

Oh, if you want to get rid of a set, do be afraid to give me a price for them.

Right now a 1st gen b16, but I will put a skunk2 on when I get the cams.

Edit: will that make a big diff. as well?

Hmmm.. What do I consider big?

Right now I have the mugen chip a with 5700 RPM Vtec X-over. At 5700 RPM's it picks up alot, but still, it doesn't screem to 8000 like I want it too. I guess I just want it to pull harder(alot harder) in the uper RPM's.

Soon, when my PYR program gets here, the x-over will be at 5000 RPMs if that would make a difference.

Im aslo considering droping some b16 pistons in(will increase my compression to about 12:1), ARP rod bolts, z10 block girdle, new rod bearings, and a CM flywheel to go with my CM stage 3 clutch.

Alos, will the ITR cams effect my bottom end power at all?

IV been paying alot of attention to how the power feels in the uper RPMs. I noticed that the power dies off at about 7300 or so, and fees slugish up to 8000 with the b16 cams. Will the ITR cams pull hard to 8000?

Does anyone know the specs of both the ITR and b16 cams? Can someone post them up?
