Question about some cams...
So i have a B20 vtec build for my EM1 right now. B16 head, B20b block. For the head, ive just upgraded my B16 SI cams to GSR cams. Well soon i was wanting to do bigger cams, but not too big since this will be my daily driver. I was wanting to do Skunk2 Pro 2s.
Now i doubt this is true, but i wanted some advice or input from what you people think.
I do have a stock B20b block, and my whole motor was built by a professional the RIGHT way, professionally tuned, and has been pulling just as strong for almost 3 years now. But i was told my some people that doing bigger cams like the Pro 2's is going to be bad, JUST because i have stock internals. KEEP in mind i will upgrade injectors, whole valvetrain and retune. Someone told me i wont make hardly any power and that its bad for my motor because the block isnt built and because i have low compression. I on the other hand have never heard of that, have been told by the person who built my motor that theres nothing at all wrong with that and has not much to do with my internals and it being bad having bigger cams. My motor seems to make plenty of power being a stock block. Yeah id make more with a built block, but im talking about stock. With my motor, GSR cams, header, exhaust, and skunk2 intake manifold with stock 63mm throttle body, i made 183whp, and 135tq. WITH A/C & POWER STEERING. And before i added the GSR cams and exhaust, i was making 159whp, so just from those GSR cams and full exhaust tuned, i gained 24whp. I dont see anything wrong.
So... Does anybody seek any kind of problem i may have with doing Pro 2s in my car?
