Ctr and itr cams are pretty much the exact same thing

CTR and ITR exhaust cams are identical, period. CTR cams have 3 degrees more duration on the vtec lobe than 97-99 ITR intake cam. Everything else is the same. 00-01 ITR cams are identical to CTR cams.

Either way, unless you're boosted, you won't see a noticeable increase in power. 3-4WHP - as much as you'd get from a free flowing exhaust. If you really feel like spending the money for an unnoticeable gain, get whichever cam set is more accessible and cheaper.

lol 10. Yeah, maybe if you're already boosted. Seriously, you won't see more than 4 out of them.
