ok guys i want to rebuilt my b16 head because right now im pushing 200 whp with gsr block with high compression piston and rods but my head has skunk2 tuners stage 2 and type r valvetrain which is not making the power i really want.... so i spoke to some people and told me to sell the used tuner cams and get
skunk2 pro series cams stage 1
skunk2 retainers and
skunk2 pro series valve spring set
sorry i had to make this a long story but i just want to know if anyone has a head built like this setup or if anyone thinks its ok

 

no one here has this setup

 

i had this set-up. what exactly is your question? be specific...

 

is it strong and does it give it great power or just ok...basiclyy is it worth the money

 

what kind of compression are u running?

 

first off, im not sure why you are even risking using skunk2 stage 2 cams with type-r valve springs and retainers. that doesnt sound too safe over the long run and you definitely do NOT want to drop a valve.

the valve springs and retainers are a good security in itself. those wouldnt be a waste of money.

as for the pro1 cams... if you are looking for more peak hp, the pro1's are bound to give a little more peak hp than the stage 2, depending. just from my experience, my pro1's made around 6 more peak hp. the mid-range power and torque is where the pro1's really shine. if you are looking for more mid range, then go with the pro1's.

just fyi, these cams require a bit more tuning and the idle is lumpy. if i were you, i would replace the springs/retainers anyways and then see where you are from there.

 

well now i came up with a turbo and do you think i should still rebuild the head...

Get your grammar/spelling/typing straight. It's easier when people can actually read your post and then help you. Also, be more specific. We can't read minds.

A lot of people on here won't answer questions if they're difficult to understand.

 

hey my fault... i just type very fast ok everyone has had no complaints...so just chill.. i just want to know if anyone has the setup...skunk2 cams pro1, skunk2 retainers, skunk2 pro series valvespring set, all this in a b16a head.. did i make it more clearly for you...

 

sell your pro1's if your going FI, get yourself some gsr cams.

 

i have had this set-up and i just told you what i myself have experienced.

 

thanks bro..i think im going to make my mind up and go boost

 

Good on you. You seem like a boost kinda guy. Pro-1's actually make really good good boost numbers, like 600+.
