If it's for the street...i'd recommend going with the stage 2s. I believe all the skunk cams are in the neighborhood of $700-750. Look to upgrade ur valvetrain with stage 2s.
The stage 2's are pretty much identical to JUN3s. That'll probably tell you how much of a pure race cam stage 3s are then
. Good luck on ur choice!

I have a skunk 2 stage 1 cam on my GSR engine.
One thing I notice is the dips when vtec engages and IAB opens.
U feel them when driving on the highway specially when the speed is broderline vtec-off and on and u keep transitioning in and out.
To be honest, its really annoying. I think its because the lobe difference between the 2 profiles is big that the engine looses intake air velocity.

Yes the cams have been tuned. The best so far is +1 intake and +1 exhaust.
Dip is still there, not as bad but still annoying on the transition.
The good part is after the dip, u really feel the surge from 6,000-8500 rpms.
Some say use VAFC to mask the dip. I believe it could help but not eliminate as the lobe difference is big enough to alter intake and exhaust velocity momentarily.
In the end, it was a choice between really stong torque and HP in the low revs then big dip then back on power VERSUS Slightly milder low revs, unoticable dip then power surge.
I chose the dip with stong low. I'll just try to avoid cruising borderline vtec.
