Default Skunk2 Stage2 cams -> Toda Spec C?

Hi and happy thanksgiving to all of you!

My friend asked me to post this question for him as he doesn't speak english.
So basically, as the title says, is it worth to change Skunk2 Stage2 cams to Toda Spec C if the car is mostly a daily driver with some Auto X and a little drag racing.
The setup is the following (as I already told the car is not mine, and I don't know much about ITRs, as I own a Prelude, so please forgive me for some possible mistakes):
Sleeved B18C6 engine, 2.0 stroker kit, 12:1 comp pistons, Skunk2 cams, Skunk2 springs, OBX cam gears, OBX 4-1 header, custom exhaust, Greddy e-Manage.

All input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Anton

he should do something about those cam gears/header before he thinks of what he would gain from the toda C's

I wouldnt trust those cam gears with an engine as built as that.

Sorry, forgot to mention, he's planning to change the cam gears to Toda ones also.
And I definately agree with you regarding the header.

skunk2 stage 2 are like jun 3's. small primary and secondary and big vtec lobes...

spec c's have big primaries and secondaries + high lift vtec lobes...


not worth it to switch for a daily driver.

i daily my spec c's, but unless you just have to eke out the 5-10whp in the midrange it's not worth all the work...

i agree with BlackR thats is alot of money to gain a few hp. He can gain more power by getting some work done to the head.
