I have been considering putting cams in my JRSC GSR. But i dont know if I should use some regular N/A cams, or if i should go with the turbo cams. Any sugestions on which ones or what kind?

How about sell your SC, and but a Turbo kit.

Yea, cause that was the question, glad to see you know a lot about cams. I would like to have a turbo, but i dont. I'm very happy with my set up now. Not many cars run a 13.5 @ 6 psi with no tunning, turbo or supercharger. Considering its already installed, and runs great, i think i will stick with what i got untill something goes wrong.

until then, does anybody know what cams i should use? I have a 12psi pully that will be on shortly, i;m just waiting to get Hondata first.

Your stock GSRs are good for FI, but if you want to upgrade try some Stock Type-R cams. Otherwise leave the aftermarket cams alone.

You wouldn't go for some skunk2's or anything? Any body know where i can get some ITR cams?

Actually i ran stock GSR cams on my supercharger setup and it was just fine. The ITR overlap and will require more dyno tuning to get the overlap out.

Ya, you could get the Skunk2 Stage 1s, but as far as I know they are the same as the newer Integra Type-R and Civic Type-R cams. I'd say spend the money elswhere unless you're looking to squeeze everything out you're setup. Like Silverbeast said with any bigger cam than you're current GSRs you're gonna need some cam gears and extra time to dial out the overlap.
But, I've seen dynos on HIGH horspower cars where the Type-R cams gave a SIGNIFICANT increase after tuning.

I want as much as i can get out of it, for reasonable pricing. I'm getting ready for Hondata with boost option and tunning @ 12 psi. I just need to get my exhaust work done first (still running completely factory exhaust). Would it be worth it for the ITR's, or is it basically a waste of money?

For a stock-block type setup I would say use the money elswere. I would invest in a nice header and exhaust since you are supercharged, but if you have the extra money burning a hole in your pocket after these mods, it may not be a bad idea.
Talk to your tuner and see what they recomend as far as cams go for your setup.
Tuning is the key. A good tuner will make a lot more difference for the money.

Get yourself a Kamakazi header and a 3" exhaust (thermal is quite nice) and that will held the supercharger breathe. Be prepared for a lot of detonation during the summer. The JRSC will have intake temps of over 230 during the summer.

Actually I do know quite a bit about cams.

I was only giving you a suggestion, because JR is crap.
