skunk2 intake cam with b16 exhaust cam. dont you think the intake would be too aggressive for the exhaust cam and screw you over at the end?

You don't do any timing changes on cams without some dyno help

yeah don't just eyeball it, use the right tolls for the job. Don't do it if you are just installing the intake.

exactly what i said , what you could do is get like a gsr exhaust cam, something a LIL bit more agressive than a b16
