Default u96 GS-R cams in a b16A SIR1. what all is needed and will it gain hp on a turbo application?

ok I did a search and didn;t get much.

Ive read that people have gained up to 50 hp by using GS-R cams. well im goin to be turboing my B16 and was wandering if the GS-R cams would be a good upgrade. Also if they are what all is needed? Cam Gears? springs? retainers? valves? and will pistion valve clearance be an issue(stock pistions)?
thanks for all the help.

ok turns out there from a 97GS-R not a 96

you don't need anything, should bolt up! $120 is a lot.

ok i didn't know if i needed to change the springs like u do when u install CTR cams.
The GS-R cams only have 25,000 miles on them will they need reground or anything or can i just put them in?

would new springs an retainers help at all?

I was told the GSR cams will make a fair amount of power all the way to 9000rpm. He sugested Skunk 2 springs and retainers and move the rev limit up to 9k. He said that knowing I have stock internals. What do you think about that?
