ctr exhaust cam is better than your gsr ex cam but you must use dual valve springs to run the ctr cam.

If I remember correctly, the Gs-R uses dual valve springs on the intake side and single's on the exhaust side, so to run the ctr exhaust cam, you would need the dual valve springs as stated above

Wrong. 00-01 USDM ITR cams are EXACTLY the same as CTR cams.

CTR cams are only SLIGHTLY better than JDM ITR cams or 97-99 USDM ITR cams.

you dont have to change your valve train to run ctr/itr cams. just dont rev pass your stock redline becuz your stock valve train will wear down faster. i'm currently runing 00' itr cams and its fine. also, put in both intake and exhaust because you will get more power that way...
