well i take it you are gonna stay NA with Type R Pistons, if you want to do the Valvetrain upgrade then go with Skunk2 or Crower Stage 2 - 3, if no valvetrain, then skunk2 stage 1. I just did the same setup in my gsr....put type r pistons and rods with skunk2 stage 1 cams and intake manifold. Sounds nice.

CTR cams aren't bad if you want the best drivability.

If you want something more aggressive, something like Skunk 2 or crower like mentioned before are best. If you have to deal with smog, you are limited to stage 1. Stage 2 would work if you upgrade the valvetrain and don't mind a lopey idle.

yea, if you're just looking for a mild setup with no lopey idles and great driveability, the CTR & ITR cams are good along with Skunk2 stage 1's which are just every so slightly more aggressive than CTR & ITR cams.

What kind of car is it a LS or GS-R if you are looking for streetabilty stick with ITR's or if you want something a little more radical get the CTR's. You cant go wrong with either one and besides its a factory part so you know your getting the best possible cam as far as reliability is concerned.

buddy club III's. they'll make more power than itr or ctr and you can use the stock valvetrain up to the stock redline. but upgrading to stiffer springs and retainers is always a good idea.

You can't go wrong with CTR cams, it'll compliment the extra rpms you can run since you're enhancing your valvetrain.
