Default Are skunk2's a huge upgrade over ITR cams?

I did a search and the results didn't have an answer to what i wanted to know..

I just got some ITR cams and i was wondering if upgrading to skunk2s would be a noticeable upgrade? I haven't installed the ITR cams yet but i'm thinking of selling them for something a little more aggressive. Can those of you who have had both feel a difference on the butt dyno?

My test of Skunk type 1's showed them steady more HP after VTEC...
with as much as 14 WHP at 8500.

is that 14 WHP over ITR cams or GSR cams?

malicegsr: have you checked if there is any wear or tear on your head or valvetrain from the cams?

TYPE-R
just one last question....was the comparison with equal variables? Cause i remember a few months back you had a comparison between the skunk2 cams and ITR cams and the ITR cams pissed all over the skunk2 cams midrange and the skunk2 only had a tiny bit more top power.

Can we see this chart? I only gained 9 hp over my R cams and my peak is around 8200 rpm.

i called group a the other day and they said \
level 1 =14-17 whp
and level 2=20-25 whp
i dont think its very accurate. but its worth a shot i guess.
there was a dude on here the other day that only put out a few whp out of them . . maybe they were bad or not tuned right?

This is on a type R. Green is R cams and Blue& Red are Skunk I cams semi-tuned. I'm still trying!

Actually, its not 10 WHP semi tuned...

Its 15+

Notice the higher you rev, the more it makes over Type-R.
