I have a B16A2 that I am rebuilding.... I need to know what would be the best cams if I am looking at running around 12-14 lbs daily.

The engine has: 9:1 JE pistons, ARP rod/bolt set, Type-R 1.8lb crank pully, T3/T4 turbo, equal length turbo manifold, stock intake manifold, 440 DSM injectors, FPR, fuel rail, and a walbro 255gph fule pump.

I would like to go with CTR cams but I am not sure if thats the best choice for my application. My goal its to try and hit around 400 WHP...there is a possobility that I will be running nitrous also (55 Shot).

What cams do I use???

 

first off a search would have told u waht ur asking but anyways....

i would recommend a gsr intake and itr exhaust

 

oh yea, those stock rods arent gonna be too happy at 14psi

they are not stock.....

I am not sure who makes the rods b/c they were in the engine when I bought it...along with the JE pistons.... the rods came with the pistons....

 

my bad i thought u just had upgraded rod bolts. u should probably try to find out what rods are in there

I'd def. try and find out what rods you are running. As for the cams, just keep yours or maybe get a set of GSR cams.

 

The rods say 5276. HO on them and they have ARP 2000 bolts on them.....I wish I knew what they were... but I dont really have a way when they b/c dont have any name or serial numbers on them.....

 

I would recommend GSR, ITR or an ITR intake and GSR exhaust combo. Good luck!

 

go with gsr's, i got them and love em

 

Is there alot of diffrence between the CTR, ITR, and GSR cams???

 

ctr and itr exhaust cams are the same.
itr cams are gonna be slightly more aggressive than gsr's and ive seen mixed results between the 2. some lose power from itr's some gain. i guess every motor is different. if u have the money experiemtn with the itr's and some adjustable cam gears if not go with gsr's

ITR cams can handle 616hp.....thats good enough for me!!! I am only looking for around 400hp. I have seen many ITR cams on ebay going for like $3-400...

But as Boostfed said in his post, ITR cams worked for his set-up. All cams differ to what set-up you are running. Remember he upgrade from Si to ITR cams. GSR cams could have done better or worse for him. I would experiment with both GSR and Type R cams and the make a decision based on that.

I wish I had the money to do that....I am running on a tite budget tho... SO I kinda have to go by what you guys tell me, what you think might be the best for the setup I am running. I might be able to buy a differnt set down the road but as for now I can get one set to start with...I just not sure which cam set would be the best for the mods I listed.

 

Do you use a itr valvetrain? With a upgraded valvetrain what will the itr's rev to?

Im pretty they can handle 9K. I know the retainers can handle 10K+, Len is revving the **** out of his car on stock retainers and they are fine.
