Im running a
b16a stock bottom end
cometic head gasket( 11.5-1 comp)
arp head stud
supertech springs a reatainers
blox type a
inline cam gears
greddy header
itr exhaust

and i would like to know if i can run s2p2 cams in it without having piston to valve issues and if the compression is high enough for those cam. ( im getting them for a great price)

 

get pro1's and call it a day u got no motor for pro2

cometic head gasket( 11.5-1 comp)?? are you sure this is right?

 

i checked on zealwerks before i went done and it came to like 11.4**-1. i got the thinnest one cometic makes.

 

skunk2 did it with headwork and 11.1-1 so im pretty sure it will work your just not going to make that much power.

 

WAY too small displacement and not near enough compression for the pro2's
Go with the pro 1's

that has got to be on a engine dyno.....with alot more tricks than told.

 

i got the pro2s, skunk2 says that 11.5 to 1 is bare minimum... but zeal autowerkz calulator was way off. it said that i would have 11.9 to 1 comp and with my high comp valves i be in 12 to 1. but it was way off and i was accualy 11.3 to 1. i wound up haveing to thin my factory gasket to get my 12.5 to one comp. but before i thined out my gasket i had 11.6 to 1 with pro2s and i made 200 hp and that was way too low pro1 would have did way better stay away from the pro2s unless you goto 12+ to 1 comp.. and your displacement is way too small go to lsvtec or b20 and you will make way more power.

 

with that displacement your better off runnig the stage 2 cams. the pro 1's would still be touch for that motor. Get a 84mm sleeve with some 12:1 CR pistons and you will unleash some nice numbers!

 

pro2's will kill ur midrange power. and u really dont have enough comp to take advantage of the pro2's. pro 1's would be a much better choice in my opinion.

 

also get a good header not a dc header but a rage header on a untuned b16 with the stage 2s i picked up power all across the rpm range with my rage header
