Just trying to get a general idea as to which set of cams I should get for my b16a? It is going to have CTR Pistons with flat valves and a mugen head gasket to raise compression; I'm shooting for upwards of 12.5:1 on 93 pump gas-- which set of cams would be better than the other and why?

And no, I'm not looking to get pro 1s or 2s-- I want to be as easy on my valvetrain as possibly while daily driving while still having a car that screams at 9k+ rpms...

As far as other relevant information goes...the head is going to be port and polished with supertech valvetrain, has a skunk2 intake manifold, will be receiving a 70mm throttle body.

Let me know if I missed anything, thanks for thoughts+opinions.

you wont have enough compression for a stage 3.

 

S2S2.

 

12.5-13:1 isn't enough? If you go much higher you lose the need for spark plugs pretty much lmao. Approaching diesel compression levels. What compression would you recommend for stage 3? And stage 2?

 

im running 13.2:1 on a stage 2 with a 1.8liter motor.....you need 14:1 or higher to effectively run a stage 3 on a decently sized motor.
even with 12.5:1 on a little b16 the stage 2 is plenty big enough

 

You dont have the bore or stroke for stage 3's... So you need to make up for it with compression.

 

Okay. Thank you very much everyone- s2s2 it is.
Much appreciated!
