Default Question ? Skunk 2 Stage 2 Cams or A2 Cams on A3?

Which one is a better setup - Im planning on switching my cams in a3 and am stuck in between either. So i would like your guys advice on this - mainly looking reliabilty and hp power.

if you go stage 2 then u have to change your valve train up grade valve springs retainers and sorts .. gets expensive ...shouldnt waste time on a3 imo but yeaa

that and skunk2 cams destroy k-series valve trains...i would go with ITR cam honestly, you will need to replace the cam gears as well but at least its all stock honda parts!!

whatever you do you need to make sure the cams you buy are 2lobe cams and not three cuz im pretty sure the 3lobe cams will not fit in an a3 head without changing all the assy out

go skunk2 cams with valve springs n ****. a2 cams in a a3 is pointless and a waste of money. i think ive seen an ep3 on ephatch with just stage 2 cams and valve springs and make like 185-190 hp with kpro n a tune.
