I read somewhere in these pages that a ITR running the full Skunk Stage 2 cams setup only give you about 10-14hp, can anyone confirm this?

It seems like people who have dynoed their Tegs are GSR owners, anyone with a "R" running Stage 2, if so what 's the verdit?

10-14 at peak or mid?


Thanks Guys.

 

The problem is tuning. Everyone get different results due to tuning. Cams are not plug and play upgrades....

 

Well said, thats why you see so many aftermarket cams f/s used....

 

People just buy into the hype expecting their car to kick major ****.

 

MPH was making 198 to the wheels with skunk stage 1. i think its mainly in tuning though.

 

These are the cams I've got and I made 186 to the wheels(corrected hp) with the basic bolt-ons. I have hondata and have had 3 places tune it all with the same result. I'm not sad nor am I happy but the are pretty good cams. I'd probably make more if I milled my head a little bit more.

 

stage 2 should give you more power than that. Let me just add these are big cams and require more compression to get the best use out of em..

I should show you my gains with stage 1's on a 11:1 compression'd motor. excellent..

 

What are they? Im interested, I run the Stage 1's untuned (for the moment).

 

its amazing the results you can achieve

 

Thanks for all the info guys, helpful as always.

 

looks good!

 

Isn't the SVP Yellow Type R running Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams, hitting 210whp + on stock internals? Not sure if this is correct... but I think so?

 

I have had expereinces with the stage 1s and stage 2s

I used the stage 1s in my car for a good 5 months and they were great. I noticed good gain over the stock R cams when I played with them alot.

Then we installed stage 2s in my friends 00 ITR overall the basics of things were the same as the stage 1s. We then started to tune the car and it was more difficult than we expected. With more power spots came more dead spots throughout the band.

Never dynoed either but both are good cams. The stage 2s are just harder to tune IMHO. Gluck

 

Even if it does only give you 10-14 peak, it may give a lot more under the curve, peak is basically useless, IMO.

 

wouldnt correct power would be to the crank ?intead to the wheels

 

ah, the perils of all motor tuning... all you are doing with all motor tuning is trading power at an rpm range for power at a higher rpm range... this is why FI rules.
all motor tuning, if you get lots of power at the top end and no power at low end, then you've done a good job.

 

It all about TUNING!!
