Default Are this cams to big!

Well I just got the spec.’s for Skunk2 New cams for the H22A. I'm planning on running stage II. But I'm little concern about the lift on the intake cam. Here are the spec.’s on Stage II. Intake Cam 267' duration and .505 Lift. Exhaust 274' degrees duration and .465 lift. Here are stage I spec.’s Intake- 266' duration .475 lift, Exhaust- 262' duration and .436 lift. Do you guy's think stage II cams are too big! Thanks

hey! thats my thread! lol...

skunk2 made a mistake on their website also. the stage3 specs are listed as stage2 and stage2 is listed as stage1.

i'll let you know dyno numbers on those cams soon

These cams seem like monster cams compared to the Crower ones.

BE CAREFULL! at about .500 lift the cams will "fall" off of the rockers. They can still be used but there have been oiling issues related in my experience. The leading edge will actually scrape off the oil off of the cam and cause heavy wear. They are for a race application.

I tried comparing the skunk2 stage 2 (from website) against crower stage 2 and they we're so much bigger. And I call Group A (Skunk2) and ask them if the intake lift (.505) would cause any problems in the street, and the guy(skunk) said no problems. Now that I know those spec.’s are wrong, I'll just compare it to the first one’s (the real stage 2) to other companies. Thanks you guy's just save my engine!!

2.6 isn't the first person I've heard (or company for that matter) that says that .505 lift would be WAY to big.

I think crower says anything above .500 lift you will run into problems!
