i see alot of people using itr intake camshaft and gsr exhaust camshaft. Is there a reason for this? I hear that the gsr exhaust camshaft and the itr exhaust cam have the same specs. Anybody with good info please chime in. Thanks

im putting a stock b16 head on my stock ls block, thats why im asking this question.

 

They're good cams if you don't want to upgrade dual valve springs/retainers and keep revs at stock limit. They make pretty nice power for OEM replacement.

 

thanks for the fast reply. But why do people run 1 itr intake cam and 1 gsr exh cam. Does that combination make more power than running itr cams on intake and exhaust?

They run 1 intake and 1 exhaust cam cause they can't run 2. JK, its cause the ITR and GSR exhaust cams aren't that different. The ITR intake cam though is much more aggressive than the GSR intake cam

also, most people can pick up a gsr exhuast cam for free/dirt cheap and finding a used/cheap ctr/itr intake came is fairly easy.

So that puts you in a set of cams for under $200 that you don't have to upgrade valvetrain.

I bought a brand new ctr intake cam still in plastic for $140 locall and got my buddys gsr ex. cam for free

 

itr and gsr exhaust cam arent the same the itr exhaust cam has more lift and duration when you have both you will make more power than if you only had the itr intake cam

 

What's the cheapest place online to buy an itr intake cam?

The reason people do this is because its a decent upgrade and they can't or don't want to spend the extra money for both intake and exhaust cams. I have the set in my lsvtec and it feels great.
