Hey guys I need some wise advice, I have a set of pro3+ cams skunk2
from a trade deal, I got really curious about what kind of power I would get out of them, so I begin to save cash to get pro series valve springs since it seems to be required on this type of cams, I got my self a set of stainless steel supertech valves and titanium retainers, my heads are getting a mild ported and polish
and have the IM ported match with the heads, NOW.......after all that I have a big problem, I was planing to to have my gsr block oversize to 84mm, but now I know that will be impossible to do without $leeving the block
and I am running out of ca$h!!!
my question is .......
will my block run good with this cams if I bore the block to 82mm and just have some type r pistons installed ????
I want to know if this would be a good idea??
also what cc injectors would be good if this was a good set up??
Any positive and experienced feedback will be helpful

Those cams will be way too big for your setup. Sell them for a good price and pick yourself up some pro 1's

 

Then sell those Ti retainers for some Crower Steel ones !

 

That sounds like a good idea!!!........thanks!!!
Besides getting my block sleeved and over bore
what else would i have to do in order to use this cams???
I am just trying to make some number$
and see what my budget can cover for a setup like this.

 

Isn't steel heavier than titanium ???

 

Ti retainers gall too easily and have been known to fail becuase of it.

If you want to save weight, buy a sawzall.

 

First of all you need around 13:1 compression to run pro 3's and anybody with experience with these cams will tell you that you need a much bigger bore which as you know you need to sleeve. As stated before you should sell those cams and go with some pro 1's or save your money and build up a motor that works with the cams.

Make it convertible!!! LOL

 

I'm not sure if the valve reliefs on a stock type R piston would be deep enough to run the cam anyways.
Even forgetting the displacement/ compression requirements.

Stock pistons , regardless of what motor ( itr, ctr, type s) dont have deep valve reliefs meant for big cams

 

Good point
I was hoping to be able to use them but I gess I'll have to give up on that idea
