Just wanted some opinions on Crower's Stage II camshafts with the <U>stock idle lobes</U>. Gaining Crower Stage II performance while retaining stock idle characteristics sound great to me. So those with these camshafts, what are your overall impressions? Would I be giving up something by choosing the camshafts with the stock idle lobes as opposed to the standard Stage II cams?

Performance is important, but I have to drive my car daily in traffic. My choice has basically come down to the Crower cams mentioned above or Skunk2's Stage I cams.

 

Can't comment on those cams but I have the Crower Stage 2 cams with non stock idle lobes and an 8lb Fidanza flywheel and my car drives perfect in heavy traffic no problems whatsoever.

So I would imagine the Stage 2's with stock idle lobes would be just fine. The only thing you would be giving up would be fuel consumption when in Vtec.
