I have been thinking about getting a set of cams for my GS-R, and would like to know if anybody here has used the Buddy Club cams on a similar setup? I don't mind hearing about other cams either. I run a stock GS-R bottom end, and valve-train, but would upgrade the valve-train if needed. I drive my car on the street, and occasional auto-x, and at drag events. Any cam I use will have to maintain street-ability, and be mild enough to tune with a stock bottom end. Does anybody know of a good choice?

 

ive heard the skunk 2 stage 2 are great for street/strip..i dont know much about the buddy clubs though

with buddy club spec III+ and Skunk2 Stage 2's you would be overcamming your motor..

A better upgrade to think of would be Skunk2 Stage I's. The lift and duration of this cam is a little more wilder than that of the CTR/ITR profiles..

Also you can keep you stock valvetrain, but it is recommended that you swap your intake springs to the exhaust side and buy ITR intake valve springs..

This is because the intake side already has dual valve springs, and they are the exact same as the itr exhaust spring. Therefore you would need to buy ITR valvesprings for the intake side. Just FYI retainers are the same so no need to worry there.

Specs:
STOCK GSR : b17a and b18c1

INTAKE lift - 10.6 mm,duration - 230 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 9.4mm, duration - 227@1mm

- STOCK CTR and 2000-2001 ITR

INTAKE lift - 11.5 mm, duration 243 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.5mm, duration 235 @1mm

- Skunk2 Stage I
INTAKE lift- 11.58 mm, duration 252 @ 1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.8 mm, duration 249 @1mm

- Skunk2 Stage II
INTAKE lift- 12.3 mm, duration 266 @ 1mm
EXHAUST lift - 11.8 mm, duration 262 @ 1mm

- Spec 3 Plus
INTAKE lift - 11.2 mm, duration 250 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 11.5mm, duration 245 @1mm

 

you can run bc spec 3's on your stock valvetrain. even on b16's you can

 

skunk 2 stage 1's. everyone overlooks the power potential of these cams.

<-------- is putting down 191hp and 137ft/lbs of torque with mine.

Care to mention your setup with these cams? Compressio Ratio etc?

 

11.5-1 , USDM ITR pistons. skunk2 manifold, IHE. bored tb. ITR valvetrain. Hondata. theres more Im just to tired.

 

Nice, have you ran your teg at the track with your setup? If so what were your times?
