There are lots of horror stories about Blox cams so stay away from it. Skunk2 cams have a good reputation on here and I run a set as well. Are you planning on boosting or staying NA.

As part of your consideration for cams, think about whether you are going to bump compression or not.

I've ran one set of Skunk2's (tuner stage 2) and liked them. Now I am going to be running the pro 3's in my new set up. If your not going to bump compression then don't go higher than tuner 2's. Just my opinion.

blox cams are just skunk cam knock offs. just keep in mind the more aggressive you go, the more likely you'll need to change the springs. VeeeTAAK, yo.

Hi,

If you have a Type R motor you can go up to 12 MM lift before needing different springs.

Adjustable cam gears may be helpful to put the power where you want it. Along with that thought, the greater the overlap, the greater the compression loss.

I have a JUN II intake only (lets air and gas in), advanced 6 degrees and that works quite well. With both JUN II cams, the compression loss would cause an overall power dip without a compression increase.

John

Do Skunk2 stage 2 tuner cams work well with a stock JDM b18c-R? I want to keep my stock 11.1:1 cp. I plan on upgrading the springs/retainers, and getting the cam gears too.

Any of you have experience with Spoon cams? I have found a set and am wondering if they are worth the money spent on them. Thanx
