Default gsr swap with type r cams!!!!! help sputtering

i added the cams and seemed to be running good at low end but top end felt groggy!!! so i checked timing and was way off so i put it on timing dead on! took it for a ride and seemed to be getting too much fuel so i set the fuel pressure at 45 psi!!! now its good vtec engages very smoothly! but when i punch it the car sputters and feels held back by a very noticeably difference!!!! what can it be maybe fouled plugs? maybe dizzys bad???? please any and all help will be appreciated thanks

ya any cam upgrade over stock application will need to be tuned

you can just throw in cams and expect to see power.

getting it tuned nets about 11whp

i find it curious to see all these people having problems with ITR cams. They should be able to run your car FINE until you can get tuned. The only issue should be a bog right before vtec engagement.

this is probably a lack of experience on cam install, you moved the dizzy way too much and a combo of other things

the fact that you adjusted your fuel pressure is rediculous

threw type r cams in my b16 and noticed instant difference in accel. was def. more after tune but no reason the car should be sputtering. you can put any vtec cams in a vtec b series and it should run like normal. check your timing. what cam gears are on the car?

just like he said not the cams. Type r cams are Stock factory cams. He did not install Toda or extreme high lift aftermarket ones. An installer error has occured, recheck your steps.
