i would have to say the gsr would be a bit more agressive right??? im kinda fuzzy on the teggies but i believe the gsr is a b18c5 and si would be a b16....that fact alone would make the gsr have much more agressive cams

They are slightly more aggressive. The GSR is a B18C1, SI is B16A2, and the Type R is a B18C5.

Sooo it is true the gsr cams out of a b18c1 are more aggressive than those in the b16a2, and of course the type are cams are the most aggressive oe grind, correct?

so in order
1) b16 cams
2) b18c1 cams
3) type r cams

Correct?

If I remember correctly there are some differences between b16 generations, but yes.

And
3) 97-98 Integra Type R cams

4) 00-01 Integra Type R cams and Civic Type R cams.

The difference between non-R cams is essentially negligible. I wouldn't actually pay money to step up from B16A cams to B18C1 cams.

Same deal with the R cams...the CTR/'01 ITR have 3 degrees more duration on the (I believe) intake side than plain ITR cams, nothing major really.
