Default Cams : B16A VS B18C GSR

Hi gents.
I found a set of B18C GSR cams for sale locally for a very good price, but I need to know if there will be some gains if I fit it to my B16A6. Now I know the gains wont be huge if there are any which I'm okay with.

So what are the difference between these two camshafts?

FYI - My B16 has a Megan header, CIA + velocity stack, and exhaust.
Thanks

How much do are the cams? if there fairly cheap say less then $250 sure they will be a nice addition but if more then $300 I'd say look around a bit more you can find some pretty good after market cams or ITR/CTR sets for $300-450. I have a Bud who was able to pickup a nearly brand new set of Crower 63402-2's for $200 they literally were ran for maybe 1500 miles the V-Tec lobes had almost no wear at all.

Not sure if you're referring to stock GSR cams, but if so they should be priced well below $100.

The market is dictated based upon where he is from. Good GS-R camshafts actually go for about $150 / set of good ones for turbocharged applications. There's a list of differences between all of the OEM camshafts that is in the FAQs section. The OP should check thre.
