Its funny how one guy with a 900+ whp car breaks a cam and now people claim that companies cams are "known to break". Until a week ago I have never heard of someone breaking a SK2 cam.


Web makes more than one camshaft for our cars, why not post up exactly what cam you are looking at instead of making us search for you. If you want some addtl midrange run the Pro-1's, it has been proven that they will give you that.

what pressure are you at currently?

i agree about the s2 statement above^^ never heard any problems with them and now that it comes out that a set broke its all over the boards lol

also whats your duty cylce at, not up to date on how much power can be made with your setup and e85 but i imagine you dont have that much room to go too much bigger

He should have plenty of duty left with the 1600's and E85.

True story... people also forget that it was the SKunk2 Pro 1's that were in the car when the 8.96 second pass was made.

that thing makes some torque, great setup

and on my all motor build i ran skunk2 pro2's reving to 9k everytime i had a chance.. i had 450 miles on the motor before i tore it apart and the cams, journals and caps were all ate up but the cams didn't break..

i found out i didn't use a good enough oil for breakin, racing.. etc.. it only put out about 205 whp but none the less, everything looked like trash before i pulled it

im actually pretty close to maxing out my injectors. i will possibly adding 4 more injectors to run for under max boost. i just tried to ask a simple question but havent totally decided on changing for sure since its a its a reliable set up as is..but as my friends and i moto goes "go big or go home" )

with what i've read, you SHOULD see gains upgrading to atleast the pro1's.. i'd only install any set of cams if you degree them in properly, if not.. i'd just keep the cams you have now

Skunk 2 pro 1's are what I would go with for that much power.

sheepey

they're all good cams. I like the comment that was posted about pro1s went 8s lol. Theres ALOT more in it besides "cams" that made Tony go 8s buddy.

You're right Alex, there was a lot more... and I didn't disregard that, I just said they were IN his car when he went 8's. I don't remember saying they made his car go 8's. But, if I did say they made his car go 8's 100%, then I was wrong. Please find that post and send it to me so I can edit it.

That was beginning the day Tony made a post about his new Web cams installed with video.

You hear a lot more grief from those who have the crower cams than most other aftermarket cam manufacturer. I think both the Skunk2 and Web's are a great choice from the cam you already have.

The question is do you want the wear and tear given from a higher cam on your valve train compared to the 2001 ITR?
