|  Depending on the year, and if they are jdm/usdm, the ends have different looks. Just google it, I had to a long time ago. Honda-Tech had something on there with pictures. |

| itr camshafts are awesome in a b16, but you wont get the complete powerband of them unless you get your valvetrain upgraded to redline at 9k. I had 96 jdm cams in my new b16, and it didnt REALLY pull until around 6200-6500, and if you hit your redline at 7900-8200, you wont enjoy them, but thats just my personal experience. (assuming theyre going in a b16 of course) |
