Default Best camshafts

I have a poorman's type r motor setup and I was wondering what would be the best cams for my setup. Here it is:

B18c1 block(fully balanced,stock rods,arp bolts)
CTR pistons(stock bore)
block gaurd
Jdm B16a head
1mm oversived valves(radius valve job ,type r springs)
Jdm b16a cams for now
YS1 non lsd tranny
4-2-1 header
RS*R Exmag exhaust


It runs pretty strong with the stock cams, but I feel I can use some more power,was thinking about getting stock CTR cams, but not to sure. Any suggestions.

Get the newer version Type R Cams as they are the same as the CTRs and you can more than likely find them cheaper because they are not "CTR"

I would prefer the 00-01 ITR or 98 spec CTR cams, but are these good enough for my setup.

P.S.

it's a daily driver

What are you using for engine management? Since the compression is so high, I would try to take advantage of that and run a more aggressive cam than CTRs.

Anything is going to be an upgrade, though. B16 cams are pathetic.

with those pistons and their huge dome and the oversized valves i really wouldnt go bigger than ctr's or most company's "stage 1" unless you absolutely know your piston to valve and valve to valve clearances.

I wasn't planning on going any bigger than stage 1's, due to the size of my valves. I just wanted some different suggestions.
