i did a search, so dont tell me to search. what should i "beef-up" or whatever before i put my skunk 2 stage 2 cams on? i got the cams for next to nothing but i dont feel my car is ready for them yet.

 

New valvetrain maybe? do you have Any mods done to your car so far?

Get rid of the gsr IM, higher compression, those are two big things to go for with new cams.
(New IM Assuming you have a gsr anyways.)

 

ya sorry for not putting them up before. they are as follows: Skunk2 IM, intake, GReddy evo 2 and DC 4-1 in the mail. and soon ill order a walbro 255

 

Skunk recommends you ugrade the valvetrain to compensate for the higher lift of the stage 2 cam. You will notice better performance with a valve job, upgraded valves, springs, retainers, and a good port and polish.

 

Thats a pretty good start, you'll have to tune the timing, and such probably with the new cams once they're in though.

Are you going for all motor?

 

ya, im goin all motor

i was thinking about upgrading the valves, springs, retainers, but wasnt sure it was really necessary. ive heard rumor that there is a hondata tuner not far from here in savannah, so maybe ill check that out.

the port and polish has also crossed my mind, but again, wasnt sure it was necessary. but the hardest part of all will be finding someone around here to do the valve job and port/polish.

 

get a new aftermarket v-train, reprogram ecu, and bump compression by pistons, head milled, or you can use a thinner headgasket and flat face valves for a lil more comp. id say jdm itr pistons should be suitable for those cams

 

i would definitely reccomend valvetrain unless you want to float a valve.
