Do you have a 99 civic with a GSR motor? or are you wanting to know if a GSR cam would fit in your stock 99 civic engine, which is NO it will not fit. Research a cam designed for your engine.

If you're going to put cams in something, you might as well build the head and use massive ones - Stage 3+ - because otherwise you're really just wasting money. Stage 1 Skunk2 cams blow. Stage 2 are better, but they require valvetrain upgrades, at which point you'll probably want to go with better cams since you'll have the requisite support items.

Or. You could turbocharge your car and be done with it.

Whatever's cheapest. You don't want to waste all this money without having a tuner handy because you won't be able to make crap for power with all your new toys running the stock fuel and ignition maps...
