I know this is talked about alot but none of the topics helped me.
I have a stock 95 GSR I plan on going N/A and I need to have my timing belt change I figure while Im having that done maybe I should get some cams to have them put in. Is this good/bad? Will it give me any good gains? Are there any suggestions on what cams to get. Maybe Skunk2 and what stage?

Thank

 

toda spec Bs with cam gears, if youre even thinking about cams.

 

Skunk2 Stage 2
You'll have to upgrade your valvetrain though. Portflow inner/ITR outer spring and Ti retainer combo runs abotu $320 before shipping.

 

Is tht all together or just for the springs a retainers?

 

nope, springs and retainers are $320, and Skunk2 Stage 2 cams are around $700, but I think if you look you could probably get them for $700 shipped.

 

Anyone have any experience with JUN stage 3's?

 

For just drop in, Skunk2 Stage 1 Cams are better. Stage 2 cams only make 5-7wHP more than the Stage 1's. Plus you don't have to upgrade alot of your stuff. You can just get the Skunk2 Stage 1's, Cam Gears, I/H/E, V-AFC, S2 IM, and you'll be making quite alot of power and you'll be very happy.

With the stage 2's you'll have to spend ALOT more money in upgrading all your stuff. Too much work and money. but hey... if you got the money and time, go for it

 

Yeah, I agree with that, but it depends on how far he wants to go, if you want to go "all out," might as well do it right the first time and get the Stage 2's. canuck-mx6 had a bad experience with his JUN 3's breaking...do a search...the Stage 2's are considered to be JUN 3 replicas (eventhough the ramp angle is different among other things, and cheaper). I say, Skunk2 over JUN because you save like $200 bucks.
