i have a jdm itr swap going into my hatch. i got the skunk2 valve springs, ti retainers, high compression valves (stock size) and the spec 2 cams. has anyone heard of any problems running the spec 2 cams with skunk2's own valvetrain? i know that the springs can't handle their stage 3 cams and that the stage 2's put the springs very close to their limit. please post any info on these parts you can, i am installing the motor this week. thanks in advance

 

In an email from Skunk2 they told me there valve train would hold up to there stage 3's and I was just wondering where you heard they wouldn't?

I have stage 1's with there valve train and just ordered the stage 3's
should I be worried

 

be very worried, since Devin left Group A they have been a mess. i dont know who sent you that email but it IS wrong. the skunk2 springs CANNOT handle the stage 3 cams. Devin, who im begining to think was the only good guy there told me that they would not hold. they dont even use their own springs in their drag car. i would not put those cams in untill you get another set of springs. you know those cams are suposed to be race only right? i hope this isnt for a street car, if it is sell them and get some other cams.


why wont anyone answer my question?

 

my friend got Stage 2's w/ ITR/Portflow valvetrain, while installing the exh camgear, the cam broke, using and AEM gear, slid on just fine, we sent it back, but i dunno kinda worries me

 

Wow, Devin left Skunk2. He's cool. Their loss.

 

this is the second time i have heard of skunk2 cams breaking.ive heard of the stage 3's for a h22 breaking.Anyone else hear anything??

 

I have heard of quite a few stage 2s breaking. As for the springs, I think they should be fine, but if not you could always go Portflow.
