    Hope you meant cams. I don't think the cam gears will help with anything other than aftermarket camshafts.
    he can advance the timing with the cam gears or retard it so it does help some...... as for your vtec it only two wires that run to your ecu

    Honda put the stock cams where they need to be from the factory. I assume he will be running a stock ecu with stock tune and stock cams, so the stock cam settings would be optimum. Wouldn't you think?

    I could only see this being an advantage if he is going turbo, but this was posted in the all motor forum.

    I adjusted both my stock Type-R intake and exhaust cams with ST Corsa cam gears (rare & baller!) for more mid range power & torque since I have a longer ratio GS-R transmission.

    A stock GS-R with a GS-R transmission is hardly a beast! Throw a B16 transmission on it with cam's, valve train, header, and intake manifold then that's would be a "beast" compared to the average Honda.

    ^ I assume you tested it on a dyno while adjusting the cam gears?

    No not at all, simply adjust the timing accordingly afterward. If I remember correctly I retarded the intake cam 4° and advanced the exhaust cam 4°. I'm still not positive if I have the first or 2nd generation ITR intake cam though, considering I bought the B18c5 new in 2004 it should have the '00-01 243 duration that's the same as the CTR.
