Default Camshafts?? What kind and what motor.

Can you swap in OEM cams in a B series without any trouble? I.E. put GSR or ITR or CTR cams in a B16A2 without needing a tune or running into valvetrain issues? I know if you use the ITR cams to go with ITR springs and retainers, but is that it? I searched(i did) and all i could really find was sales ads for cams.

to get the best results you should tune whenever you switch in any cams

If you want to rev higher than stock, upgrade the valve train.

So regardless, some kind of ECU work is required, whether its a swap or tune.
