for oem cams itr would probrobly be best.. but you can also get a skunk 2 stage one and keep your stock springs and retainers..

skunks are designed to make power past 8200 u can use stock springs on stage 1 but dont plan on taking it past 8200 unless u want to start puking valves

^ u can, but its not recommended. Your not going to notice a huge difference with cams, spend the extra money and go with a bottom end with more displacement. Try and find a gsr block.

s2s1 cams makes a sprinkle of power over 00-01' ITR (CTR spec) cams after tuning. i'd stick with oem itr's and just buy a set of inner ITR intake springs and shift your existing inner intake spring to the exhaust side and your cool. if you are retaining stock compression, then, itr's are suited well for your application. to be honest, the best street cam out there right now are the BC3+'s. they have a broad and very usuable powerband. rpm=ruin people's motors. s2 cams need upgraded valvetrain and higher revs to perform well. do your research before you decide. peace
