Default GSR Cams +(?) B16a

I came across a free set of cams from a 98 GSR. Whats the difference in profiles from my stock B16 cams, and would it be beneficial to add them to my otherwise stock swap, or just try to sell them?

Thanks

Word, but seeing as they were free and I didn't really plan on building the internals until spring...

nothing major over B16 cams unless you have a set of cams from a first generation, automatic B16... I believe those had a mild cut that can be improved upon by swapping in GSR or newer B16 cams.

otherwise dont even bother.

I have GS-R cams in my B16A and they were a bit beneficial. They have a little extra duration and a ****smidge**** more lift.

The biggest benefit is that the motor pulls all the way to the rev limiter now instead of falling off after 7500.

Considering that I got mine for free, that's a damn nice benefit.

just my $.02
