For the street those may be the 2 worst selections you could make.

Skunk2 tuner 2 or pro1's , ITR/CTR , Buddy Club 3's are more what you would want to go with.

try them take pics when your valves drop
ok enough being a douche
stock b16 heads have a single valve spring set up which cannot handle a big cam
honestly a ctr/itr cam is kinda pushing it
the biggest i would go would be a sk2 or bc stage one cam which is slightly larger then a ctr cam

best bang for buck and safe for yours would probably be gsr cams

1. Not going to make power anywhere close to where you want it for street driving.

2. Not going to be able to run them on stock springs or retainers.

3. VTEC KILLER... you realize that you DELETE the VTEC function right?

Well doing a "street race" is illegal so I have nothing on that.

For a street b16 I would say the Skunk2 Pro1s would be the way to go.
A good valve spring setup, Skunk2 , Supertech, Buddy Club, etc.
I would stay away from Ti retainers, I know i am going to get s*** from a few people on that one, since they wear pretty quick.

You can go for the Pro2s but they are deigned to make power higher up than I could live with for DD/street driving.

Remember that its a b16, what makes great power on a b18/LSVTEC etc. may not be the best selection for the smaller motor. Look at a few peoples setups and see what numbers they are getting.
