So you are saying they are just like Skunk cams except for different lift and duration?

Out of curiosity, and I mean this in a nice way: How can cams make different or better HP gains if they are supposed to be "Replicas". If it IS indeed making different numbers than the Skunk 2's then, well, they are not a Replicas and becomes Wicked Industry Stage 2 Cams. The whole reason of a 'replica' is to make an exact copy or knock-off of the original(s). *shrug just my .02 cents.

Aloha,
Brandon

i think that wicked claims that the specs are different than skunk2 cams but i have heard that they actually measure out the same....i have been running a pair of the wicked cams and i love them and they are a lot cheaper than skunk2 cams

Yeah, I'm kinda confused here. They make replica skunk2 cams? That means the degree angles, lifts and durations are the same? But they put out more power? Maybe the tuning is different?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I've always thought that you need tuning after camshaft installations. I don't think they're bolt-ons?

Most cams that are made overseas are made by the same company.
