If you wana be cheap go w/ stage 1 cams & a set of valve springs by skunk2

 

So i wont see much power gains from CTR cams????

 

You will see some gains just nothing out of this world.

 

You don't need to fuck with the valvetrain when you're dealing with stg 1s, i've had mine in for over a year, NOT ONE PROBLEM.

 

Stock b16 valvetrain on stage 1 cams = no no IMO.

To each is own tho.

 

Well if i have any problems you'll be the first to know.

 

Ok buddy!

Ask your self this.
Why did honda install inner & outer valvesprings in the ITR & CTR ?

And you are telling me its ok to run factory valvetrain on that lumpy goodness? Ok Maybe factory itr valvetrain.

To each is own, run what you want, I wouldnt tell a "friend" to run a stock b16 valvetrain w/ any other cams besides b16 cams

 

You're turning this into a fight or something. I'm speaking from experience man, i've had these cams for nearly a year and half with no problems, that's all i'm saying.

 

I am sure there are tons of people that run itr cams on a stock valvetrain. I was just saying that in my opinion I would atleast use an itr valve spring set b/c I am sure there is a reason that itr/ctr motors come with that setup.

If your under a budget, sure stick cams in on a factory b16 valvetrain & pray nothing happens if you decide to shift at 9k by mistake one day.

Vito, I hear where you are commin from...
