Default Cams ?? Soping around for a set what are you running ??

Well i am looking to buying some camshafts and other goodies . I would like to know what are you guys running and what should i go with ??

I have a k24block with a k20a2 head port and polished ,have a valve spring set up on it to and i am running Type R intake cam with TSX exhaust cam at this time .Not looking to boast the motor looking more toward all motor set up.

meh, i am not too big on the kelford cams...skunk2 will more than likely destroy your valve train...BC's aren't bad... and blue print are good..

i would also look at Go-Power. and Drag Cartel...Prayoontoo makes good cams for the price and excellent gains!!

are you daily driving? whats you compression, stock rods and pistons?

i was about to do an all motor k-series

What other mods do you have? Remember K's love to breathe, so make sure you have a good intake setup, with good length in the piping, and at least a 3" exhaust. Also do not cheap out on header. I'd say look into BC, blue print or IPS. Skunk 2 would be good too but make sure you do research into which version they are. Older versions didn't get along well with the timing chain tensioner and I've read a lot of stories on not even making it to 10,000 miles before the chain snapped.

Drag Cartel is making some nice cams. I've herd Kelford cams take a big hit in the low to Mid range power.

Sorry meant to say dual valve spring set up .Knowing how to write and speak french screws up your English vocabulary some times .

Ive run Brian Crower 2s for the past 4 years, they are great for the price and have a smooth power band.
