why not get 2000-2001 ITR cams, they're almost identical, better than pre-2000s, seen go for around 400-450

Because ctr and itr exhaust are thesame cam profile. The intake on the ctr is 3 degrees bigger than the itr.

Technicality: Degrees is a measure of time not size. The CTR Intake cam stays open 3* longer than the ITR. Sorry, it was bothering me

Aren't cam functions measured by lift (inches or mm) and duration (degrees, minutes, seconds)?

because no one has mic'd the new intake cam to show how different (if different at all) it is from the regular ITR cam or CTR one. It could just be a part number change (there was a long thread on this a month or two ago). Just get the CTR cams. -C
