I have found that Gsr cams appear to have the same vtec lobe diameter as jdm b16 cams, based on my measurements.
As for duration, the published specs for 99 si b16 cams are IE 265/267 while gsr spec at IE 274/276
Those are for the intake cam. The exhaust sticks I have measured appear to be identical between gsr and b16 usdm and jdm. Published lift for exhaust is 9.6 mm
For the record, Type R civic and 98 + type R Integra cams are published at IE 278/280 and 11.5/10.5 mm
great info! rep'd
