I'm looking into some cams for my currently (internally) stock b17, and I'm interested in the skunk s2's, but I'm thinking maybe 10:1 is rather low for those. I'm definitely planning on using the thinner mugen head gasket when I install the cams/valvetrain, but even then I'm still looking at probably 10.3:1. I don't want to get stage 1 cams since I'm planning on some p30 pistons in the future, and then I would actually be able to benefit from the s2's. So here's my question in a nutshell: will the stage 2's still give me some decent gains for now? As always, thanks in advance

dont waste your time and money installing the pistons later
do it now then you add your cams....

 

You will see a gain in the top end but you will lose more bottom than you would if you had the compression.
