Icon2 What cams to use in high compression B16 engine?

Hey I've got a B16 running 240 compression ( tell me compression ratio if you know lol ) The motor is still running stock b16a cams and I want to upgrade. There are so many different cams out there and I just dont know which ones to go with. I want cams that will go good with high compression, something aggressive too! I dont really mind not having stock idle characteristics. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Can't go wrong with a Set of Jun's (If you have the money) or Skunk2 Pro 2's...

do you have a built head? cause you know you arent gonna be able to run anything too aggressive without some headwork. other than that, s2 pro 2's are tried and tested and are available everywhere. i run the pro 1's on a mild build 12.3:1 and think for the price and ease of availbility was my best choice

so is 12.3:1 240 psi? how do you convert psi to ratio?

what about skunk2 tuner series stage 3 with obvious valve train upgrade? would those be good with high compression?

what you need to do is read up on each set high comp cams out there, and there are tons on various websites, then come back to HT and search for topics concerning them and make your pick from which one sounds like it'll best fit your particular setup. o yea have an idea of what all you want to do and dont want do, some of these all out race profiles require massive work and reliability issues. just start searching the web, theres tons of info just waiting to be absorbed, let search be your friend. o yea sorry for not answering your comp. q, thats for you to figure out
