not worth shelling out the dough for stage 1's since they are similar to the itr/ctr's. Also, its always best to stick w/ oem products..cant go wrong.

its so worth it. if you saved up another 50 bucks ill give them to you for 450 plus shipping so 460....you really will get so much more power over the ctr or stage 1. U can safely rev those cams up to 9k easy and make power up there too. but if you dont want to spend that much then its your choice. I VOTE THAT ITS WORTH IT!!!!

looks like you have invested in the appropriate valvetrain to accomodate beefier camshafts. I say you go skunk2 stage 2.. Otherwise ctr/itr if you had stock internals.

since you have the upgraded valvetrain, i would go with the s2s2 cams. even if you don't get the cam gears, you can always get them later on down the road when you feel the need for a little more power so you can tune them.

i got a CTR intake cam only. i have stock valvetrain though. i installed it already, but i haven't driven the car. i have to put the timing belt back on and thats a bitch.

i hear a lot of people like the CTR intake cam in the gsr motor. they felt good gains with it. you should be happy. just start shifting at 8500

You need cam gears! And a fuel tuning device! And some Dyno time!

It should rip even more.
