It could be done. I wouldn't push no more than 7 psi, good luck with tuning though

did u check piston to valve clearance yet? the cam shouldnt be too agressive with those valve springs.. however with 10:1 compression ur gonna be deffinately needing some dyno time.. u figure if u were to sell ur cams to make the money for the turbo cams ur gonna still eventually pay for dyno tuning..

I personally wouldn't run Skunk stage2's in B16 w/stock compression in N/A form, as they're not going to reach their full potential w/such low compression.
In a turbo application, I'd sell the stage 2's and pick up a set of CTR cams.
