Default Aftermarket 3 stage cams

Does anyone make an aftermarket 3 stage cam for the GSR? My stock GSR cams have 3 differant sized lobes in each set of lobes, I was wondering who makes aftermarket perfromance ones like that?

I would try looking at jun, crower, comp, crane, and I think even skunk2 makes stage three cams but the problem you are probally going to run into most cam companies will require a spring and retainer set and some head work and new valves because they will open you valves a hole further and are usually a race cam. but you could look into getting a custom grind cam and design your own. but you will probally only notice 10-20 hp gains without some port and polishing. the port and polishing will help alot even with you stage 2 cams though.

...are you talking about the "intake, exhaust and VTEC" lobes on your camshaft? If you aren't, you need to let us know.

You have 2 intake, 2 exhaust and a VTEC lobe per cylinder. There are two intake trigger lobes and a VTEC lobe on the intake cam (per cylinder) and two exhaust lobes per cylinder on the exhaust cam.

do you know why they are 3 different heights?
obviously the middle(biggest) is the vtec lobe.

the two smaller ones are different height. They are like this to create a "swirl" effect on the incoming air charge. How? One valve is open more allowing more air through one port hence creating a swirl. The reason they want to make it swirl at low (under 5000 or whatever vtec crossover is) rpm is to help The Air/Fuel mixture "mix" more. Kinda like stirring Kool-Aid to mix it up.
The more "mixed" the mixture is, the more fuel it burns and the resulting exhaust has less underburned gas in it whicj means cleaner emissions.
