Are JUN cams really worth the extra $200 more than the Skunk2 cams?

 

Do a search.

There are 10 million threads on cams.

Any info you could possibly want on cams is out there.

Good luck.

 

i searched i cant find anything on skunk2 cams so thats why i want to know is JUN really that much better for $200

 

BS.

Do a search for "Skunk2" in the ITR forum's archived topics.

Do you realize how many threads there are on cams?

I don't recall telling anyone else to do a search recently.

 

koo

 

i did a search and alls i found was that if you are short on money buy skunk2's so i take it that JUN's are not too much better if they are at all.

 

*sigh*

Ok.

Which Skunk2 cams and which JUN cams are we comparing?

What kind of numbers do you want to make? What other mods do you have?

i guess i'll be the only cool guy and answer ur question.

skunk2 stage 2's and JUN 3's are pretty much the same cam. there profiles are very close to being the same. i would go ahead and save urself some money and get the stage 2's

 

When did he say those are the cams he's comparing?

 

they said (i haven't seen) skunk 2's are suppose to be a copy of jun 3's..

you're not ch00L

 

well right now i have a JRSC'd R and im selling it and going all motor but i really havent researched it too much and i want to get a whole head packaged ive priced the skunk2 head package and it is alot cheaper than JUN but i was planning on doing skunk2 stage 2 cams. And i was wanting to know if the JUN is really that much better for that much more or should i just go ahead a get the skunk 2 head package for around 2000 which includes cams, cam gears, valves, retainers, valve springs, and the intake manifold?

 

Use stock ITR valves and a stock ITR intake manifold.

 

yea i was going to just keep my stock mani. Do you think i could run the stage 3 skunk2's on my stock valvetrain still?

 

almost the same profile....but JUN III make just a bit more power

 

At the bare minimum get valvesprings and cam gears when you change cams.

 

stock R valvetrain can only handle skunk 1's... itr manifold is the same as skunk...he said stock valves not valvetrain...

 

i guess i might as well get everything besides the manifold, so the stage 3's will be the best u think?

 

Stage 3 needs higher than 12:1CR

You don't ever need more compression, but it would be nice.

 

so stage 2 will work good with me stock compression? Are the valves and everything else the same thing no matter what stage it is?

So i can run the stage3's on my stock compression but it would make them have more power wiht the higher compression right?
