which camshaft best for daily driver with performance on H22A/F20B?

 

Buy all the cams that are available, dyno tune with each set. Whichever gives you the best powerband - is the "best."

 

if choose from below....what will u recommend?

1. skunk2
2. BC
3. BLOX

 

S2 by far

 

skunk 2..pro 1

on my h22 no headwork...valvetrain mods...skunk pro 1s...mahle pistons...decent header and 2.75 exhaust...

made 237/168 whp on a dyno dynamics dyno....

with a nice powerband making power up til 8100 rpms.

 

thanks! I also interested in sk2 pro1, is it a must to change the valvetrain?
actually...I'm going to install it on F20B head, is it just the same as H22?

 

Thanks!

 

I agree. Skunk2 Pro 1's are the way to go. You for sure have to change the valveterain.

I actually have a set BNIB if you're interested.

 

I'm thinking tuner stage 2 / pro1.....actually dunno what's different....

 

Difference between Stage 2 and Pro 1 is larger off-vtec cam lobes to give a bit more linear power than the staged series. I have found the Pro1s to be a much smoother application that still give a good amount of power over the rev range

 

if you have the manual f20b the valve springs are a little more stiff than the auto f20b, i've heard somewhere that you can actually run aftermarket stage 2 cams on a stock f20b head, not sure though. anywho if your stuck between choosing tuner 2 or pro 1's go with pro 1's for the better powerband, but both will still need valve spring upgrades at least.

 

i also notice a H-T member even using pro 2's with stock F20B type-s valvetrain..... but dunno it is real or not....

 

Yep, Skunk2 even mentions this in the product briefs on their website. They intentionally made a larger variance in the lobes in the tuner series to leave the "jump" into VTEC that some people like, whereas the Pro series is meant to have a smooth crossover and better midrange. Tuner 2's are also designed for a higher RPM range than the Pro 1's, so some of it depends on where you want the power. Either one of those necessitates a valvetrain upgrade.

 

Thanks for the recommendations guys. We appreciate it.

Either Tuner 2 or Pro 1 will require valvespring upgrade at a minimum. The lift generated by the vtec lobes will "kaboom" Type S valvesprings.

 

Skunk2 pro1's would be great for a daily, plus you would be supporting a company that actually developes parts for us, not shady other businesses that just copy someone else's research

 

If I want to have more power on midrange rpm......is it go for pro1?

 

^Correct

 

Thanks for all the comments!

I would like to know any difference on the installation on s2p1 cam in F20B DOHC head?

 

With that... I'd contact Skunk2Brian or call them directly. Not too many F20B cats on this forum.

 

QFT!!!!!!!

 

Thanks! Just PM skunk2Brian....
