What cams to use in high compression B16 engine?
Hey I've got a B16 running 240 compression ( tell me compression ratio if you know lol ) The motor is still running stock b16a cams and I want to upgrade. There are so many different cams out there and I just dont know which ones to go with. I want cams that will go good with high compression, something aggressive too! I dont really mind not having stock idle characteristics. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Can't go wrong with a Set of Jun's (If you have the money) or Skunk2 Pro 2's...

do you have a built head? cause you know you arent gonna be able to run anything too aggressive without some headwork. other than that, s2 pro 2's are tried and tested and are available everywhere. i run the pro 1's on a mild build 12.3:1 and think for the price and ease of availbility was my best choice

so is 12.3:1 240 psi? how do you convert psi to ratio?
what about skunk2 tuner series stage 3 with obvious valve train upgrade? would those be good with high compression?
