Default SKunk2 stage1 vs. Type R

Is there a noticeable difference between a skunk2 stage 1 cams and ITR or CTR cams? The numbers look pretty close, and stock springs can be used on stage 1's, so im wondering if theyre worth ALL that money.

Skunk2 Stage 1's are more agressive than Toda A's or ITR/CTR cams. Also, Stage 1's still make power past the stock redline, while the ITR cams die off.

Don't CTR cames make power up to 8400?
Isn't the revlimit on a CTR somewhere around 8600?

There is a noticeable difference in power. I picked up about 12whp after tuning my stage 1's over my ITR cams. They are worth every penny in my opinion and they work very well with ITR valvetrain.

Skunk2 stage 1 are known to make power all the way up to 8600, a good revlimit for them is somewhere between 8800 - 9000.
Similar power range of Type-R cams but stronger throughout the higher parts of the power band.
Great cam for the money.

CTR are also a great cams ,very reliable, little cheaper make power all the way up to 8400RPMs.

Depends on the setup of course. But I've seen alot of Dyno's where the ITR cams start goin down after 8200rpm.

So now you're just bluntly saying if a car has cams, then its obvious they have an exhaust, intake, header, hondata, injectors, etc.??

You need to quit before you make yourself look even more dumb.

While these 2 little girls are fighting...i'll let ya know that i made the switch to stage 1's last season.I had ITR's in my gsr with bolt ons.It did pretty well.But after doin the skunk1's i felt a nicer hit on vtec activation.We never really got to tune them in but i did gain 4 mph at the track.I was happy.I will be also running them on my new setup which should be complete within a couple weeks.These kids will still be fighting in this post and bumpin this up...so i'll post results.
