The JG will help you out some with ITR cams, but it'll help you immensely if you step up and get a set of turbo cams (and the proper valve springs). The GSR cams will help some, but if you're going to stick with OEM cams get the 01 ITR cams or CTR cams. I helped my buddy turbo his B16 with ITR cams...he put down more power than I did. Those ITR cams help!

work on your block first, not im/head.

hmm.. if i do any block work, i'm going to start with a 1.8L block .. i'm sure a bit of head work, JG im, and some diff cams, valvesprings, retainers, valves even.. will show some results..

your b16 block isnt a bad choice at all.. great r/s. id add some pistons/rods and make 350whp with ease... itd be a nice street car. jg im, cams, valvesprings, retainers etc... are all nice, but you wont ocme near their potential with a stock block
