Re: question about skunk2 stage 2's (EpDarks)
From the cam guide at ClubSi
Skunk2 Stage 2
Int-266 dur. / 12.3mm lift
Exh-262 dur. / 11.8mm lift
Valve Springs to be used: Skunk2 preferred but Port Flow will work as well. These cams are wild enough that you should not be using the low 8200rpms rev limit.
Description: The new top dog of the cam world. This will become the most common aftermarket (non OEM) cam in the US when they start getting distributed more. These have a very similar power band as the JUN Type 3, with less cost and better reliability (I said the “r” word). Not huge midrange but very good gains from 7000rpms all the way to 9000rpms(peak is usually around 8000-8200rpms). These cams have stock idle characteristics, thus making them the ultimate street/strip cam. I recommend using Skunk2 cam gears with these cams.

Re: question about skunk2 stage 2's (Sears_Build)
I have heard a couple issues with the Stage 2's --- one involving their reliability (a couple breaking stories), especially in comparison to the stage 1's. Also, i have heard, and seen, that these make about only 5 whp more peak than the stage 1's and no more in the midrange...ive yet to see many dyno graphs proving it...just by word of mouth.
