I've been reading up for awhile in this thread, gathering thoughts, info. and ideas from other members' setups, and I'm wondering if Skunk 2 Stage 3s are streetable and how they idle. Is it possible for them to idle ~750-850, maybe 900?

I like what I've been seeing from the Buddy Club Stage 3s, Skunk2 stage 3s, and Toda Bs, but I'm wondering how streetable they are.

What other cams are equivalent or close to Skunk 2 stage 3s or between Skunk2 stage 2 and 3? Thanks for any help or suggestions, and if there is already a thread on this, please point me in the right direction.

 

I have s2s3s in my daily driver, 13:1 cr, idle is fine, mine idles around 900-1000, to low and it does die, I have a fully built motor too with 370cc injectors. Havent had a chance to fully tune it yet either and it idles fine, its all gonna be about what YOU want to do, what kinda set up you wanna run, cams like those require lots of compression and good head flow to maximize performance, hopefully that all helps.

 

13:1, I was thinking about going 12:1 max. I guess I should stick with Skunk2 Stage 2s or Buddy Club Stage 3s.

 

skunk 3's they are streetables just don't try to hit vtec going down each block everyday set the vtec at 5000 and just drive normal and you be fine

 

Check. Yeah, I was planning on keeping the V-Tec around the 500rpm range, but wherever is the best place for it(making more power) is probably where it'll be.

 

Most cams are streetable and idle fine if you have a decent tuner.

 

these cams are def streetable. i was running stage3's in my b17 w/ 12.3 cr no prob. idled at 700-800rpms. just make sure with 12.0cr+ be VERY VERY careful with timing. id reccommend using a stock ecu or a chip that does not advance timing until you can get it tuned. i blew my b17 up because i was running with a mugen chipped p28 then i switched to a skunk2 ecu then BAAM. detonated crazy.

 

Thanks.
