Default cam swap

Now i have a b16a with sri, dc sport header, greddy evo 2 exhaust, skunk2 intake manifold, skunk2 cam gears, and was wondering would it be worth it to swap out my stock b16a cams for some 98 gsr cams? I heard its a good idea but im looking for some advice from you guys. Would it give me a little more power that i can feel or really not do nothing? Bc i can get the cams for pretty cheap from a friend of mine who just swapped his.

No it is not worth it for GSR cams, a set of ITR or CTR cams it would be worth it, or een a nice set of toda cams

The GSR cams are no more agressive than B16 cams, The b16 head is the same head that is on the ITR B18C's and CTR B16B's so the clearence is there and the balance of the bottom end allows it to be reved high to take advantage of the other cam upgrades.

i went with stage 2 cams from crane cams, keep in mind that if you change to a more aggressive cam setup, you need to just about rebuild the intire head. (i.e. high comp valves, springs, ....)
btw, if you plan on going turbo at anytime, dont change the cams, but for supercharging the more aggressive setup is fine
