Default Skunk2 Camshafts

Ok im weighing my options here...I was thinking of going with Skunk2 Stage II Camshafts. I understand i need to upgrade my valve train..can i get that from Skunk2? What else would I need to get the most out of the camshafts??? Ignition upgrade?? Cam tuning?? Air/Fuel Ratio correction?

Also, what kind of typical hp #'s can i expect with these?

I have Mugen header, hi flow cat. greddy evo exhaust, aem cai vafc..gonna get cam gears and aem fuel rail and fpr for xmas

Yes you can get your upgraded valetrain from Skunk2 if you prefer, Ignition would be nice, Cam Gear tuning would be needed to get the most out of the cams, basically get them installed and goto the dyno with the vafc and cam tuning you should see some good results.

Before you decide on Skunk 2 first, please check around to see if there is anything better. Mine exhaust cam broke the second week I got it, and I have skunk 2 stage 2. I still have them, but be careful with the entire set-up. Ferrera valves are the best!

you may want to consider chipping your ECU. those cams are designed to produce power in the high RPM range, so you with an upgraded valvetrain and proper VAFC settings, ECU chipping - raising your redline/rev limiter would also give you some extra power.
