you obviously don't know anything about skunk then..

All Skunk products work. Last I checked they had the fastest all motor Integra not too mention the fastest all motor car period running a 10.6 They must know something.

You think they are using the same off the shelf stuff that they are selling us? Haha no way in hell.

I don't know the specific setup on the Skunk car, but on the AEM turbo car the only things AEM are cam gears and a piece of a chopped up CAI. I know the Skunk car was using a HyTech header at one point but not anymore. I think the name on the car doesn't really show who put what into it. I'd hate to use NASCAR as an example but it probably works the same way.

Regaurdless, I've heard good things about most Skunk2 products. The Stage 2 cams seem like a good moderate upgrade comparible to the Toda B's as long as you have the needed upgrades to go with it.

EDIT:
Skunk2 Stage 2
INTAKE lift- 12.07 mm, duration 265 @ 1mm
EXHAUST lift - 11.6 mm, duration 256 @ 1mm

Thanks to Master Tuan for talking to Mr. Hsu and getting the cam specs info.

I agree, Skunk2 cams seems to work quite well. As always tuning is key. Also, I think the stock ITR IM should be more than sufficient. The Skunk2 IM is almost identical to the stock ITR IM.
