okay, i got some gsr cams in my b16 and i was wondering if i should get some adjustable cam gears if i'm going turbo. what should i set the gears on to reduce overlap, or again, do i even need the gears?

yes get cam gears ..... get good ones (toda skunk2) dont get AEM
as for what to set it at.... that would be best decided on a dyno

You don't need them. Get Crower turbo cams with the money you'll save. The upgraded cams come pre degree'd and there is no real need for gears.

i'm a firm believer that cam gears are a great choice, but not completely necessary...

if you're going turbo, gsr cams are perfect, and do not need to be dialed out or in at all.
i sold mine.
im going stock b16 cams and gears... just a hair smaller than gsr's
