Default more aggressive cams = higher compression???

as of now im running on sk2 stg2 cams, but i want something abit more aggressive...

theres a set of toda vtec killer cams and a set of the sk2 stg 3 cams going for pretty cheap and im pretty sure i need higher compression to even consider utilizing the power these things put out...but im not sure if thats the case...

as of now i have a fully built head, but a stock block....

98 jdm itr motor

head consists of port n polish, 5 angle valve job, titanium springs and retainers, ferrea valves, sk2 stg 2 cams, cam gears....

so my question is do i need to upgrade the block to a higher compression in order to run the cams mentioned above? or is the stock compression on the itr motor sufficient enough...thanks for your help guys...

toda VTEC killers - race only, not a good idea for street. literally no VTEC function, they are locked into high profile at all times.

Go with the Skunk2 Pro2 and a one layer headgasket. Along with some tuning.
