i picked up a used set of skunk2's for $450. A used set of CTR's is gonna cost you at least $300, more like $375. id say get the Skunk2 stage 1's.

what else have you done? basics like intake, header,cat and exhaust?

id say ctrs for the price or just get some stage 2's. imo the difference in money isnt really worth it. also you can run everything stock with the ctrs

Do you know that 00-01 ITR cams are the same as CTR cams, and they are usually found quite a bit cheaper (300-350). That is your best bang for the buck camshaft. You can live with your GSR redline too and still see a good power gain. With skunk2's your going to have to upgrade your valvetrain to see the benefits, and if your doing that you might aswell just grab some stage 2's and make some real power.

I say go with 00-01 ITR cams, drop them in and tune them. Depending on the rest of your mods that is.....then if you can upgrade your valvetrain and rev to wherever your making power (dyno sheet will show this). it all depends what your power goals are (midrange, topend) and what you are using this power for (drag or autocross, etc).

What have you done to the car so far?

I would say CTR cams since they are easier on the pocket book!

I'd probably get a header back setup before I started getting camshafts/manifold. Thats just me though.....

Definately get a skunk2 Intake Manifold for the ITR/CTR cams.
