Im looking for a little insight on what set of cams to be switching over to for my set up. Ive good things about both webs and skunk2 cams but have also heard of skunk2 cams breaking like crower cams. Im looking to gain some more mid range power if possible. let me know what you guys think. Any help will be appreciated

Current set up - 600hp 450tq
b18c1 81.5mm bore
wesico 9.1:1 pistons
crower pro billet rods
darton sleeves
full crower valvetrain
2001 integra type r cams
jg intake manifold
neukin ram horn manifold
garrett t3/gt40 .82ar aka "blowzilla"
M&W ignition
4x1600cc injectors on E85
Fullblown dual pump hanger with 2 walbro 255 pumps

 

Its funny how one guy with a 900+ whp car breaks a cam and now people claim that companies cams are "known to break". Until a week ago I have never heard of someone breaking a SK2 cam.


Web makes more than one camshaft for our cars, why not post up exactly what cam you are looking at instead of making us search for you. If you want some addtl midrange run the Pro-1's, it has been proven that they will give you that.

 

what pressure are you at currently?

i agree about the s2 statement above^^ never heard any problems with them and now that it comes out that a set broke its all over the boards lol

also whats your duty cylce at, not up to date on how much power can be made with your setup and e85 but i imagine you dont have that much room to go too much bigger

 

He should have plenty of duty left with the 1600's and E85.

 

True story... people also forget that it was the SKunk2 Pro 1's that were in the car when the 8.96 second pass was made.

 

Here's the specs for the Web Cam:

Lift: .475/.460
Duration: 270°/260°
Duration @ 0.050": 250°/240°

Street / Strip. Turbo application. Specifications for the big lobe only. Requires Performance Valve Spring Kit. Check ALL clearances! Price Per Set (2).

 

that thing makes some torque, great setup

and on my all motor build i ran skunk2 pro2's reving to 9k everytime i had a chance.. i had 450 miles on the motor before i tore it apart and the cams, journals and caps were all ate up but the cams didn't break..

i found out i didn't use a good enough oil for breakin, racing.. etc.. it only put out about 205 whp but none the less, everything looked like trash before i pulled it

 

im actually pretty close to maxing out my injectors. i will possibly adding 4 more injectors to run for under max boost. i just tried to ask a simple question but havent totally decided on changing for sure since its a its a reliable set up as is..but as my friends and i moto goes "go big or go home" )

 

with what i've read, you SHOULD see gains upgrading to atleast the pro1's.. i'd only install any set of cams if you degree them in properly, if not.. i'd just keep the cams you have now

 

Skunk 2 pro 1's are what I would go with for that much power.

 

they're all good cams. I like the comment that was posted about pro1s went 8s lol. Theres ALOT more in it besides "cams" that made Tony go 8s buddy.

 

oregon trail of band wagons is about to begin soooon.

 

You're right Alex, there was a lot more... and I didn't disregard that, I just said they were IN his car when he went 8's. I don't remember saying they made his car go 8's. But, if I did say they made his car go 8's 100%, then I was wrong. Please find that post and send it to me so I can edit it.

 

That was beginning the day Tony made a post about his new Web cams installed with video.

You hear a lot more grief from those who have the crower cams than most other aftermarket cam manufacturer. I think both the Skunk2 and Web's are a great choice from the cam you already have.

The question is do you want the wear and tear given from a higher cam on your valve train compared to the 2001 ITR?
