friends dont let friends run crower VTEC cams in their motors. I was like many others who had their cams exploded into 4 exhaust cams, with only acknowledgement from Crower that they have had problems with that, and very little sympathy for my completely destroyed (sleeves and all) motor. They did, however, compensate me with a set of their rods

b16 cams??? i have access to them...my cousin has them and wants my R cams...so are they just as good as gsr cams??? if not is there any aftermarket cams that i can get...cuz i don't know anyone with gsr cams..

Use the R cams, you won't regret it. Even if I'm out voted 100 to 1 on this, keep the R's. They will work great for a high whp application.

Agreed! I have been trying to tell people that, however they just dont believe me. They say too much overlap blah blah blah and other nonense.

Type r or gsr cams are good for turbo cars.

I believe Earl. The ITR's are not all that wild of a profile.
