will gsr cams be any better than stock ones on a b16a2 if im only running 8-10 psi?
are they really worth it? ive heard theyre better and ive heard they dont do a damn thing.

 

Keep the stock ones. And for damn sure make sure you don't get any Type R cams

 

b16a cam<GSR cams<ITR cams

you can find gsr's cheap though

 

ive been reading about gsr cams in the b16a2 all night long and it sounds like not a big difference but do it if you got the extra money.
i was just a little concerned cause i read that the gsr cams are a better choice only on the first gen b16a.... got any say in this?

do the type r cams have too much duration for boost?

 

ive seen some people gain like 8whp just throwing in GSR cams, not bad if you can find the cams for like 50-70 bucks

 

so would i just use the b16a2 cam gears on the gsr cams?

 

Yep, i just installed GSR cams in my b16- no dyno to compare to though

 

does it idle any different? might be a dumb question but just curious

 

Hondata or AEM EMS + GSR or ITR camshafts = Good gains and a Honda like idle. I have bought GSR camshafts for $40.00. That's well worth an 8whp 1 ft-lb gain (I have seen three dyno sheets that both showed 8whp gains on two different setups). I will be using a GSR intake and an ITR exhaust camshaft.

 

thanks to all for the info about these cams. gsr cams with b16a2 gears sounds pretty good to my ears now, haha.

 

What RPM are the GSR's good for? and this may be a dumb *** question, but can you max out a gear before you even redline? vise versa, redline before maxing out a gear?

They are good for 8100 rpm. But they should peak about 76k-78k.

 

holy **** 76k? wow that ssome crazy ****. thats like f1 car revs times 7

 

WEll since we already got the back from the dead here .....

How did you make out tgh99si......did you do the cams? feedback?

 

im planning on gettins some cams but not til this summer, i will be dynoing my car in about two weeks at 8 psi or 7.25, the tial wg spring.

 

good luck tgh99si, let us know what your numbers are when u get back from the dyno.

 

thanks man, i will, heres my setup that no one responded to, i was just wondering what you guys think ill make at 8 psi.
