Default Which cam setup?

Which would you go with? Both will most likely be tuned with STR cam gears and a VAFC. Please consider price vs potential power.

Have no experience purchasing from them though...

Best advertised price I've seen on Skunk2 stage 1s... $680... for up to mildly modified ITRs they seem to be your best bet unless you are, or have access to a real Honda tuning guru and a more heavily modified car... MPH on this board seems to have produced the best dyno(not that that matters in the grand scale of things) with these cams on this board...

.....if you want something mild, how about toda spec a's?

Especially if you're going the budget route and don't wanna mess with valve spring upgrades... those or jun stage 1 or skunk2 stage 1 are the only ones I know of that don't need upgraded springs...

out of those 2 choices, i'd do skunk, but really think about what you wanna do to the car first. if u plan on going an all motor route with high compression pistons, built head, etc...save your money and do a bigger cam later. i made the mistake of getting mild cams, and now i want to go bigger!! Skunk2 stage 2's look really yummy!

Well here are the reasons I am going with a mild setup.

1. I'm in college and have little money....ever.
2. It is my only car. I put 30,000mi a year on it so right now reliability is a big issue.
3. This kinda goes with number 1&2. I don't have the money, time, or guts to rip apart my engine to do major internal work right now. I can't afford my car to be down that long and risk missing class/work.
4. Did I mention I don't have money?
