many have said that they like the power from regular skunk 2 stage 2 cams but they keep the rev limit at 8000 on a stock gsr head

has anyone tried these cams on a stock gsr head ???

It's not the revs, but the lift from the cams that cause binding (valve float)

get some buddy club spec3 or skunk2 stage 1. Little wierd motor combo. You should instead invest in a GSR crank

If your only turning 8k max with a 1.6l I wouldn't go any bigger than the itr cams.The gsr cams may make the best overall power unless your always driving from 6-8k all the time.
