I wanted a ZEX 59300, but it was on backorder, so I opted for the Skunk2 Stage 1. It'll be dyno tuned on the 31st with my VAFC and Skunk2 cam gear. As it is now, the gains are very noticeable through 3000-5000 rpm and from VTEC x-over to redline. It's a Stage 1, so it's nothing compared to an agressively lobed cam, but the gains are still felt. I'm hoping the dyno tune will recover some lost low-end, though. As it is. . . .
0-3000 rpm -- gutless
3000-5000 rpm -- noticeable gains and pulls great
5000-5500 rpm -- gutless again
5500-redline -- power comes back on
I'm very impressed w/ it even w/o tuning. I'm sure I'll be even more pleased after rollin off the dyno.
