Default Skunk 2 Stage 2 vs stage 1's

How much h/p difference between the two? Enough for the money? I have a 94 GSR with i/h/e, any help would be appreciated, TIA....

get the Stage 1's...i read in some other thread that the stages 2's were fucked up or sumthing or they made just as much POWER as the stage 1's but they cost more...so get the stage 1's

I don't think the stage 1s cost more...you're strongly advised to upgrade the valvetrain with the stage2s though.

stage 1's....you will see better results with 2's if you had higher compression.But with that setup 1's are your best bet

And I think that they claim to make like 5-10 hp over stage 1's I think. Depending on your set up. what about ctr's or itr cams. Cheaper.

I know people who have gone from itr to stage 1s and said there was clearing a difference in power. Dunno anyone that's gone from ctrs to stage1s though. Tuning is key also.

ITR and CTR cams are very nice. Drop it in and you're good to go (gotta raise your Vtec X-over). Skunk2 Stage 1 cams make more power than ITR or CTR cams and they're much easier to squeeze more power outta them.

I would stay away from the stage 2's, bigger isn't always better, plus the only motors I've seen make good power with the stage 2's had really high compression.

stage 1
