well im almost done with my build and i am trying to research cams for myself. the car will be a SFWD/true street car. everytime i try to search cam options on this site i get only cars that are looking for a cam for 300whp with a stock head. my setup is a lot more complex so i need to see what cams to research.

my setup is a B16 head, port and polished, oversized valves, springs and retainers, edelbrock intake manifold, top mount turbo manifold with a gt4088R turbo. my power goals are around 800whp..

any opinions on cams i can research and will fit me best for my setup? any opinion will be appreciated...

 

Skunk2 PRO 1 Cams

 

always thought skunk was the bottom of the crop. i will have to look into them. any more opinions? more peeps for the skunks?

 

s2p1

 

Which means Skunk2 Pro1s.

The only other alternative that Iv'e seen work almost as well are the Kelford camshafts.

That's pretty much the consensus here.

 

umm yep thats exactly what it meant
thank you for being the tranlator man lol<<<<mean laugh out loud as well

 

I hear those are best for turbo cars

 

Skunk 2 pro 1s or 2s... Very good cams for your setup... You may wanna think about a higher stage cam for your power goals

 

the onlythign going to net you more power over the skunk2's is a roller rocker system such as crane or ferrea

 

You are wrong. The Skunk 2 Pro 1's are the best out there right now from everything I've seen. I picked up 65 whp WITH 3 LESS PSI when I swapped them in over my Type R cams. They are great. I have a write-up on here somewhere if you search my name in the Forced Induction forum.

 

The Blox B's ans Skunk tuner 2's has also been the hot tickets with mid to high HP potential builds. Most of the people on HT crying Pro1's have never used them in a turbo setup but have read that a guy who was a friend with another guys uncle, used them and they worked lol. I am almost finshed with my setup that will be using skunk 2 tuner 2's on a topmounted sp6765 .

 

The skunk 2 pro 1's will make more power. Period. And there are plenty of people in here who have used them.

 

Then why is it that 90% of the people on here who post setups and dyno graph's, either use CTR/ITR or GSR cams??

 

Because not many can afford teh shocking sticker price of the pro series, that's why people get teh tuner series which have way less potential than the pro series... Dude with the tuner 2s... Try swappin in a set of pro series either 1s or 2s and watch the gains shOw for themselves... Tuner series skunk 2 cams are very noobish...

 

tuner 2's here working great.

 

Because CTR/ITR cams were the previous favorite. Now we have better options. But its expensive and you need to upgrade your valvetrain.

Speaking of which, what kind of hardware do I need to safely run S2P1 cams?

 

the pro series is only $20 more than the tuner. people don't want to deal with the pro series because driveability suffers for street cars.

 

never was at anytime.

probably one of the all time top 3 best cams out for a honda ever..

 

Exactly, the primaries on the Pro series are much lopier than the tuner series...not my favorite on a street car but you can get them to work.

Mid range, smaller turbo = CTRs or Tuner 1s

High rev, larger turbo and lots of boost, PRO 1s

 

SkP2 here waiting to get tuned hoping in the 750-800 hp waiting to finish up to get tuned >

 

problem with the pro1's is valvetrain wear. there a very wild cam and unless its an all out drag car not worth it if your going to be daily driving and wearing out rockers. Rockers arent cheap thats for sure

 

Not to thread jack guys, but what would be an ideal seat pressure (psi) valve spring to run with the Pro1's? I'm considering these cams for the TS build.

 

running pro1's here made 765. Plan on switching to web cams later on.
I've heard the kelford cams make really good power also.

 

Skunk2 Pro1s are best with turbos flowing over 61lbs/min.

 

It's not even the price tag. Its the necessity. As mentioned, for cars over 61lbs/min +, the Skunk2 Pro1s do quite well.

There's never one particular car part that is infinitely an improvement in every aspect.
