Which would you go with? Both will most likely be tuned with STR cam gears and a VAFC. Please consider price vs potential power.

 

if u go jun type 2 for the intake side the lift is 12mm and i dont think r springs would be too friendly with that high of a lift and duration...

Have no experience purchasing from them though...

Best advertised price I've seen on Skunk2 stage 1s... $680... for up to mildly modified ITRs they seem to be your best bet unless you are, or have access to a real Honda tuning guru and a more heavily modified car... MPH on this board seems to have produced the best dyno(not that that matters in the grand scale of things) with these cams on this board...

whatever is cheaper, then spend the difference on tuning!!!!!!


out of the two, I'd go with the skunks, if for nothing else than to **** of the jun *****

 

 

save up and go all out...rebuilt the whole thing

 

Jun sounds good

 

Got the skunk stage ones, i love them. MPH put down 198 whp with them on stock compression. gotta love that.

 

Ashame the damn car is stock now. It was fun to see the low 13 sec passes by MPH though!

 

For some reason the car is still fun to drive. Must be that 4.78 FD.

 

.....if you want something mild, how about toda spec a's?

Especially if you're going the budget route and don't wanna mess with valve spring upgrades... those or jun stage 1 or skunk2 stage 1 are the only ones I know of that don't need upgraded springs...

 

what weak choices. especially the mix and match second choice.
Does nobody save money anymore??

 

Steve - what would you recommend?

 

depends on the intended usage but i would definitely recommend against mixing
cams like that.

 

out of those 2 choices, i'd do skunk, but really think about what you wanna do to the car first. if u plan on going an all motor route with high compression pistons, built head, etc...save your money and do a bigger cam later. i made the mistake of getting mild cams, and now i want to go bigger!! Skunk2 stage 2's look really yummy!

Well here are the reasons I am going with a mild setup.

1. I'm in college and have little money....ever.
2. It is my only car. I put 30,000mi a year on it so right now reliability is a big issue.
3. This kinda goes with number 1&2. I don't have the money, time, or guts to rip apart my engine to do major internal work right now. I can't afford my car to be down that long and risk missing class/work.
4. Did I mention I don't have money?

 

In about a month i will post some dyno Charts of Skunk2 Stage 1's!

Hopeing for 190whp!

haha, sounds like mild is the way to go then Skunk2's!
