ok guys heres the rundown, I purchased a set of slightly used skunk2 pro 1 cams that i got a good deal on. however i am unsure if these will do the job for me. i called skunk2 and they said i should have went with the tuner series cams. what do you guys think?, anyone use these cams with a simular setup to mine.
the block is at the machine shop as i type this post, and this is what is being done to the motor.

im probablly forgetting stuff, but that basically sums it up. i guess im just trying to figure out if these cams are to aggresive for my setup. i would like to drive this car around as much as i can so i want it to be reliable. i plan to run around 10-15lbs of boost and make no more than 400hp on high boost. could i use these cams without blowing my motor up.or should i sell and get another cam?

too much cam.

Too much cam. You only want to go Pro 1 if you are 500+

thats what i thought. should i go with tuner series, or should i get type r's, or stay with my stock gsr cams?

yep, stock cams will meet your goal. Sell them for a profic.

For your power goal stick with GSR cams. If you want a little more torque then find a set of ITR/CTR cams. Blox makes a good set of cams that are a little more aggressive then ITR/CTR but it all depends if you want to spend the money for a little more performance.

mechanix619

Also, and this is just my opinion but ditch the fuel rail and FPR; save the money for more important parts. You also don't need the P&P and 3 angle valve job for your power goal. Will it help, yes, but you can make the power with a stock head and adding springs and retainers.

The fpr I was planning on selling anyway, as for head work its already done. Anyone on here looking to buy some cams : )

this ^^

sell them and go ITR (if you want different cams), save a bit of cash and buy yourself hookers and wine coolers

How much you want for the Pro 1's?

DeLucia

Why is everyone saying its too much cam? Run them and youll make more power then a stock cam at a lower boost level. I woulda never bought them with the goals you have but now that you have them I think its stupid to go backwards

Go with Tuner 1s. Retains factory idle, easy on valvetrain, they will make a little more power than CTR/ITR on the top end. Pro1s aren't worth the drivability sacrifice for the power you will be making.

Interested in the cams, PM me. Ill be doing a 500+whp build in the near future

CDecker0218

Just use them if you have them. Anything over 500+whp is when the pro1's will come in handy
