Default Pro3 cams

Does Skunk2 produce a version of the b-series Pro3 cams will only the ID "Pro3" and not "Pro3+" on ends of both the intake and exhaust cams?

The intake and exhaust camshaft should both say "P3+" hand etched on one of the ends.

There is a guy on here selling some Pro3's and sent me pics but they are only notched P3 on both camshafts. They were beside the Skunk2 cam box with item number 305-05-5150.

This is a wacky idea, but -- have you tried asking Skunk2?

Perhaps those are an earlier version or prototype set.

Maybe they are the latest "drop right in" version. No need to degree the new version.

The lobes look the part.

Mine say P3+, but they are also from 2007.

Current camshafts are typically marked with P3+ or P3V. Please keep in mind that since these camshafts are etched by hand, this does introduce the potential for human error. Based on the pictures here I believe those to be legitimate Pro Stage 3 camshafts.

In addition, if we were to change the Pro Series camshafts, it would still be a good idea to degree in camshafts as this is the only way to account for variations in cylinder head and/or block thickness. While a change to the indexing of the camshafts might make amount to which the cam gears needed to be adjusted smaller, I would still recommend degreeing the camshafts. That is of course only if you are intent on extracting maximum horsepower.

While this is a great "theoretical" answer, I think everyone here would like to know if the pro series cams are now using stock cam centerlines? Can you confirm or clarify this?

I think the problem lies in the fact that there are so many sets currently in use and on the shelf the only way to be truly sure is to check for yourself.

It would be nice to see them come with a different marking of some sort.
