Default CTR or ITR cams on B16A3??? Are these ITR Cams???

I want to know which are better. I'm looking for mild performance on my del Sol VTEC, kinda on a budget and need it also as a daily driver. Anyways, I want to know if posible what would be the difference in performance between CTR cams and ITR, and if I would need different springs or retainers for one or the other or both. Thanks in advanced! Tried searching the &#*&$# our of this question. . if theres a thread already about this point me out please!

CTR Cams are just a bit more agressive than ITR. The difference between the two would be mild, it is reccomend to replace the valve springs and retainers so you can use your cams to their fullest potential.

Are these ITR cams? These are the ones being sold to me. Please let me know since I already searched a lot for ITR and CTR cams identification, and these don't seem to be it. . .

Those are the sellers only pic. It looks fishy doesnt it? I had already seen the page with that pic with the distinctive characteristics of each cam, and I just couldn't find anything about them in common with the ITR's. I'm just confirming, cuz if they're GSR, I'm gonna report him to the forum moderators.

Id ask for better pics before jumping to conclusions. Many Honda owners have been scammed this way.

fyi, ctr and 00-01 usdm itr cams are identical. and they only have 3* more duration on the intake side when compared to 97-98 usdm itr cams. the exhaust cams are the same.

Well. The guy just lowered his selling price to $165, so it makes sense to be a scam.

those look to be JDM ITR cams, though it's tough to tell from the picture. i have the exact same cams in my b16a3 in my 95 del sol vtec. I'm happy with them, seeing as my friend gave them to me in trade for some brakes i had lying around when he went with bc4 cams
