    Haven't tried it but if your right that Type R cams somehow work then GSR cams will too. I wouldn't think it would because of the spacing of the lobes but anything Type R cams work in so will GSR's.

    i call bullshit!! the center lobe on a vtec cam is way too wide to work in a non vtec head first off, it will prolly hit both the followers on the outside edge when it comes around. thats if u can get them bolts in. good luck though

    you are really confused aren't you, VTEC cams will not work in a NON VTEC HEAD, but what you have confused is that you can use Type-R PISTONS in a LS motor but not type-r cams. You can run CTRs or ITR cams in a b18a/b
