Yes I am. BTW I can't remember how that other thread ended up...... didn't bother going back when all the bickering started. Anyway just out of curiosity why was it you thought they where not worthwhile?

I'm very interested in hearing peoples opinions when they justify their opinions well........ :thumbsup:

If you looking for a very mild upgrade and will not go beyond the scope of I/H/E, and something decent to tune it all with.... then the CTR/ITR cams with corresponding springs may be ok for your needs.

I know a few on this forum will say that CTR cams are a waste of time in a otherwise stock B16A...... which is actually the opposite to what people say in the states from this "mildest" of upgrades with factory honda equipment.

Me waits for one particular person him to chime in again regarding this debate :)

SPEEDCORE: mmm my goals would be to give a "Stock ITR" a car length whooping :) ive heard b16a with Zorst, headers, cai, clutch + flywheel keeps side by side with ITR. would ITR cams be better choice then CTR ones?? ta for the replies guys

Post 98 ITR (or is it the 00-01 ITR :!: can't remember right off the top of my head) cams are identical in spec to CTR cams. In fact I believe they are the same part number.

side by side? geeeeeet farked

you think the ITR runs hopes and dreams? :wave:

Thats why im here askin questions, and thanks to you i feeel alot better about ITR's, but man, my mate has ITR number plate 83AMN i havent seen any N/A honda able to beat him cept for one DC5R which had the works done to his engine. SO you rekon with all the mods i listed should be able to to down a stocko ITR yeh?

and because at $600 + $??? for springs or whatever the going market rate is, you are not going to make more power over stock cams in a stock motor.

Hefty cost for no to little gains.

with CTR cams in a b16a with 1/h/e and VAFC tuned and also increased compression through thinner headgasket and shaved head (dont know how much, i didnt do it)... having driven the car before and after the CTR cams, i would have ot say that its not a mod that yields " little or no power gains"
