Default Ideal compression for Skunk stage 1 cams

I've been reading alot on HT and I know its been beat to death, but I couldn't find specific info on this topic. This is for experienced engine builders or people who can read the cam specs and conclude proper c/r .

With skunk stage 1's, is the more compression the better or do you draw the line somewhere?

Can't go wrong with compression. Though Stage 1's are made to work well with stock comrpession.

I noticed people on here don't have alot of good comments to say about the skunk stage 2's, I heard that there copies of the jun 3's but why are they not producing the same or even close to the same numbers as the jun 3's?

i dont have any dyno's to show you but i have seen them on the same car with the same mods, the only difference between the two is the jun's are made out of a slity stronger metal. Many people around here are using the skunk2 stage 2 and love them.

Ive had skunk2 stage 1 cams in a stock b18c-r and it felt good, but after I fully built the head and too many other things to list they pereformed better although since then I am no upgrading to stage 2's...and do a search for Importreview and/or Jeff's screen name and you will see he put out VERY VERY good #'s with skunk2 stage 2. Not to mention just a few days ago a guy in here posted 200whp with skunk2 stage 1's....hope this helps in some way....

I saw that post also of the 200whp Skunk2 stage 1 cams!! With Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams u might be able to squeeze out a addition 5 hp but I think that is the most and when i spoke to group A about this they agreed!

That would be MPH that had over 200 whp, but he had increased comression, 11.3:1 SRP pistons. I'm sure that with the increased compression and a good selection of parts it shouldn't be all that hard to get 200 whp, I'm at 188/133 with stock cams and ~10.9:1. I have looked at the skunk stage 1 cams, as well as the toda spec A's, but after spending all the $$$ on the B's then pulling them out I think that I just want to spend more time at the track and become a better driver.
