Default Skunk 2 cams on b18c4
Hi all, just looking for a bit of advice.

I have stage 2 cams installed now with springs and retainers. The compression on a B18c is quite low for NA to gain power with cams I believe. What high compression pistons would I need to suit the stage 2 cams which would be safe for clearance?

Skunk2 Tuner 2's will work very well with a stock GSR short block.

the pistons I’m looking at are 12.1 domed. Just worried about clearance with stage 2 cams.

If you have a stock surfaced head and a standard thickness head gasket, you will be just fine unless you introduce a ton of cam overlap.
