Best choice for GSR valve train and internals

[sniperwolf04]

I just read a post someplace and it talked about swapping a CTR head onto a GSR. I'm getting a GSR soon and i've already made some decisions on which way to go. Could anybody tell my why this swap (CTR head on a GSR) would be a good idea. i havent' heard a lot about it. I also read that swapping in CTR heads would be a good move. Some opinon and advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

the CTR head on a GSR will lower your compression

the CTR head flows better than a GSR head thanks to the mild PnP from the factory

the CTR has more agressive cams


get CTR cams and valvetrain
get a PnP on your GSR head

done

Ya see, I was thinking of getting Toda cams.. should I go with the CTR cams instead? Where (websites) can i go to buy the valvetrain? I don't necessarily want to lower my compression though. The CTR pistons will bump it from 10 somethin' to 12.487. So would i just be wasting my time to get the CTR head?

yes getting the CTR head will be a waste

if you are already looking at Toda then dont bother with CTR anything

get Toda Cams, Toda pistons, Toda valvetrain

 

[sniperwolf04]

Would you happen to know how much the Toda pistons would raise the compression ratio to? And should I bother getting some rods or anything?

 

[E_SolSi]

check their site i think they say it on there

other good pistons are the IBspec Wiseco

word- don't bother with the head swap. just upgrade

 

[JDMilan]

upgrade your current shit, fuck the CTR

bore out that gsr manifold too unless you have the proper ecu for the second butterfly things in the gsr manifold.
