Hey, im looking for info from you guys that have had experience tunning with the skunk2 pro 1's. What is your opinion on the CR that these cams like the most?

Im planning a lsvtec build with p30 pistons, and am just wondering if i will need more than the 11.6:1 CR that it will yeild to bring out the full potential of the cams? My boy says that that is plenty enough to run those cams, and he's probaly right. But im super **** and want to hear everyone elses opinions who have had experience with these cams.

anyone out there running these cams?? and whats your opinions on them?

setups/dynos/ and track times would be awesome as well!

 

up please

 

Does skunk offer any spec or info on that?

 

an engine builder i repsect alot reccomended them to me on my 10:1 comp b18c


ill tell u what kinda power it makes in a couple weeks

 

isn't that like barely above stock compression or right at it?

personally i would go 11:6+

 

why?
explain why u think these cams need excessive amounts of compression to make power..


it is a b18c bottom with a b16 head milled down a little.

 

If your gonna bump your compression......whats the point of bumping it up a little above stock. MIght as well leave the bottom end alone if thats the case.

 

maybe because i wanna spray on it


whats it matter, tho. according to u the cams are way too big for my application, and im still trying to figure out how u came to that conclusion

 

In most situations cam decision should really come down the engines flow characteristics as opposed to just compression alone. Even so, there are plenty of engines running close to stock compression and huge cams that are making great power.

 

Nitrous craves high compression, FYI

i agree..but...with a stout bottom end, your gonna make that much more torque and that much more power over a stock block.

 

that isint the question on this thread. why do u keep running from the original question?

so u think that 13:1 comp is too much for these cams? wheres your basis for arguing that 10:1 compression is too little? i ahve seen skunk2 stage3s make power on stock b16 blocks. just because the cams are big does not mean they wont make power.

screw this ill post my dyno sheets up in 2 wks, then we can figure out if 10:1 wont make any power

 

I'd have to agree with johnzm on this, just because the cams are big, doesnt mean you need an assload of compression to make power with them.

I.E., omnimans b20 with 10.7:1, DonF 11.5:1 gsr test motor etc.etc.etc.

A discussion like this is on the RM boards.

 

wtf are you talking about, i never said 10:1 was too little.

And i stated my opinion that higher compression would give optimal gains over 10:1 compression.....which is not straying from the original question...thanks tho

I guess it would of helped if i had read the whole thread instead of the very last post

 

ok, all this urguing is great, but are there any real tuners here that can share their personal experiences with me???

 

LOL!


no offense, but the "tuners" dont waste their time on honda tech, until after they are done with work

i would imagine they would have the same opinon i have, since i spoke to DonF before purchasing my set.

 

Your compression should work great with those cams.

 

Compression is fine , just make sure you get Skunk, OMNI, REV, or Rocket gen 2 springs and retainers.

 

so i far i like the cams but u will need some tuning to fix the idle and get them running smooth.
