Default Cam Question

For street use, I plan on using Skunk2 Stage 2 cams with CTR pistons. Why are the Stage 3's not practical for street use, other than a rough idle? I realize I won't pass emissions with them, but I can do a swap every 2 years.

Thanks,

Matt

so would it be a good idea to put Stage 3's in a daily driver, that I plan on taking to the track every once in a while?

When you say handle, you mean produce enough compression?

Thanks,

you can use the stage three if you I think any thing is street able in my opinon the main factor is your power band is not going to be good for the street all your power is going to be in the realy hi Rs if you were to use these cams I would hope you have alot of tunning aids in your car cam gears pigy back/stand alone

yea.. the stage 3 i think mess with ur idle but the bigger problem is that I think it's makes your low end power even worse, and you dun get the good stuff till the upper powerband but most street driving doesn't require us to be in the upper revs most of the time.
