Hold on there buddy, while they are not as wild as skunk, jun etc... they are a definite upgrade over stock 1g b16 cams. I just installed a set of ITR cams this past weekend and they ******* rip coupled with the skunk 2 IM.

ITR/CTR cams = $300 or so and you can use the stock valvetrain..... skunk 2, jun = $900 + valve train upgrade that is necessary to run those big cams.

It all comes down to $$$, and how much you are willing to spend.

ITR cams hit a lot harder than the stock cams did.

What the **** does him driving a Honda have to do with anything.
Horsepower costs money nuff said. I'd go with Jun 3's but if you're trying to be realistic some cheap OEM ones with a cheap OEM valve train is teh way to go. I put in GSR cams I got for $50 bucks and used B16a valvetrain, and I still put down about 5 more hp.

Skunk 2 Stage 1 are not any better than a set of CTR's.

Your comment is worthless, an I won't tell you the reason's. Most OEM honda stuff is better then the crap you buy brand new. &lt;-- Flame me please. Why waste money, that can be spent on something else to make you go faster.

i never said most of honda's OEM parts werent good, i just said that for the money you'd be spending, you might as well get some aftermarket cams instead of some **** poor excuse for mad tite OEM Type ARRRR cams.

a friend of mine with a 94 del sol VTEC B16A3 found a set of Zex/comp stage 2 b16 cams for $350
