EDIT - and since you can usually get a set for cheap as fuck, like 25-40 bucks, it's usually worth it for a few extra horses all over.

Yeah 3-4 hp really feels like alot.... Sorry I never wasted my time with that pussy shit. The intake cam has very little more lift but quite a bit more duration making them a great cheap uprade when boosted. If you really want to go through all the trouble for a few hp's and then trick yourself into thinking it feels so much faster then go ahead. I went from B16 cams to CTR cams and I swear to god it made me hate honda alittle more... $400 for like 10 hp...
I put CTR cams, ITR throttle body and a ITR intake manifold on all at the same time and I bet I only gained about 10-12 wheel hp in a poor mans Type-R. It sounded alot louder and pulled up to about 8,200-8,500rpm before dying off where the B16 Cams,tb,IM died off around 7,500 rpm.

Also if you want to talk about great upgrades i got a set of skunk2 s2's for 400, which are gonna make more power than CTR's, but he asked about gsr cams over obd0 b16 cams so that point is pretty much a totally different topic.
So lets see, you just flat out told him he wouldnt see any benefit at all, compared to two people who actually did the cam swap that are saying yes you feel a significant difference. Maybe next time you shouldn't speak up unless you honestly have the experience to back up what you are trying to say.

Of course some ricer is gonna jump in and say "yeah the 3 hp I made from my $25 upgrade feels amazing!!!" When anyone who actually knows what they are talking about knows you won't even feel it. You don't even know the damn differences, just asume they must be alot bigger and put them in and think you are half a second faster. You must be one of those ricers.... done arguing with you, enjoy 3hp upgrades that you can feel so strongly.
