i am gonna be doing cams in my gsr....i don't want something like a stage 3...i actually want to drive my car...what do u think about say crower or skunk2 stage 2 or even stage 1......or at best bet CTR? price wise as well..

i am thinking about going CTR springs retainers.....i have aem cam gears...for the money i think ther are great deal...
does anyone run CTR cams..or any cams for that matter in a b seris vtec...naturally aspirated motor...

Thid may may be a stupid questions but did those AEM cam gears give you any noticalbe power?


LOL, sorry, you must have mercy on my uneducated about hondas soul.

like 2-3 whp...they just allow u to advance and retard cam timing....very usefull for tunning....and no question is stupid... only stupid answers

ryuujin

get some Toda A's

but seriously out of the list you made out, I would suggest CTR if you want a little more pep, and if you want that same pep plus extended higher power in the upper band of your rpm get Skunk2 Stage 1's

Quick_CX

how agressie are they?.....remember this is a daily driver....i dun want it sounding liek 5.0 at idle....liek stage 2 would be aggressive enough..

ryuujin

why does my pee pee get hard when I see a F360?

Quick_CX

cause that is a natural thing that happens to a boy at ur age...dun be afraid...it won't bite u...its only cause u saw something worth getting wood over......

punkindrublic

you may also notice the more you touch it the bigger it gets

hahaha from what i have read and such those ctr cams are the most aggressive oem cams... but i'd assume there to be better... why not check out jun3 cams??

ryuujin

you can run stage 3 cams on a daily driver with no issues provided you have the right tuning.

Tuning is essential when it comes to cams but if you aren't so keen on spending mad money on some stage 3's then stage 2's would be the most ideal situation for you

Skunk2 cams are like a good mixture of Japanese cams in my opinion, they have decent midrange and good high end power

Toda's are more about the midrange power which is ideal for daily drivers IMO, and JUN's are like high revving monster cams, but beware of JUN's as they've been known to snap every now and then.

If you want more mid-range and slightly more high end than your current GSR cams, but you don't want to spend over 1000 CAD then get yourself some CTR's. OEM goodness and all you need to upgrade is your intake valvesprings to the ITR/CTR ones. You can move your current GSR intake valvesprings onto the exhaust side and save yourself a little money there. Retainers would be nice, but not so much an issue and your current valves won't be much of an issue either.

Remember, upgrading cams isn't just the cams, you have to upgrade the whole valvetrain as necessary.

cams
valvesprings
retainers
valves
timing belt (upgraded when using stage2 or spec B cams at the least)

upgrade tioming belt...to say a stronger belt??...well with say CTR cams....no need to upgrades valves...
