I have a 96 GSR and was wondering what a good cam would be for it. I dont want all out drag but I do want something with punch without sacrificing driveability.

Any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, how hard is it to swap them out?

 

what mods do you have currently? whats your budget?

if you want something that you can just drop in look into itr cams.

 

Crower, Skunk2, Crane, Blox, Rocket Motorsports, etc.

 

Budget/Powerband

Jun Type 3, Skunk2 Stage 2, Crower 63403, Zex 57300, Toda Spec B, just to name off a few.

Here's a writeup on cams. Click here

 

Got Skunk2 stage 1 cams, nice gives good power, and still maintains drivability, may need to up the ECU or get a VAFC, in my case it is needed casue i don't have a smooth power band. ( SKunk2 cams, SKunk2 intake, comtech headers, comptech ice box, apex i N1 exhaust) { Yet to install aem 5 bolt cam gears and my Apex-i VAFC 2}

 

SO far I have an Edelbrock intake manifold, DC intake, DC header, and a full CompTech exhaust. It has an upgraded ECU but that was by the previous owner and I dont know exactly what he did to it.

 

ditch that ecu for a stock unit and get something like a vafc when you get a set of cams. and spend some time on the dyno.

 

OBX stage 3 cams, $335 and they are amazing! upgraded valvetrain and tuning is required.

 

I just want a bolt on set. Im military and so is my boyfriend and we dont have that much time to spend on dyno's and tuning. Im trying to keep it DIY

A stock ECU... wont I need a C3 ECU instead of the C1 which was original?

 

if u don't want to have to go on the dyno don't get cams, casue with bigger cams u will have have problems in your powerband, it will still be drivable but like in my case i have no power at 4500 to about 5800 rpms.... Also there is no such thing as a bolt on set of cams.... all require some work to get set up and something to be able to play around with your A/f ratio (VAFC)
