FYI: CTR cam and Skunk2 Stage2 cam PROIFILE & PICS

Pulled my CTR cams today and putting in my Skunk2 Stage II cams.
Here's some pics just for your info.

Of course I gotta give you some specs:

Skunk2 stage 2
Intake: 12.3 mm, duration 266 @ 1mm
Exhaust: 11.8 mm, duration 262 @ 1mm

Civic Type R
Intake: 11.5mm, duration - 243 @ 1mm
Exhaust: 10.5 mm, duration - 235 @ 1mm

I hit 189whp/139tq with CTR cams. And hopefully to hit 200whp when I
get it dyno tuned again next week.

EDIT :Also note that on the Skunk2 cams, the end near the dist. on the intake
cam has engravings reads "H08 IN" and exhaust reads "H08 EX"

EDIT: Went to the dyno, here are the numbers. My peak whp with CTR is 188-189.
My peak whp with Skunk2is 207-208.

Re: (seanb18c1)

An email reply from skunk2. apparently the "2" marking doesnt signify what stage. unless the guy i was talking to is incorrect.

info@skunk2.com: the M means they are in fact skunk cams. also another distinguishing factor is the color. thae cams are generally a gun metal color and the lobes are like a bronze/gold kind of color

Me: Thanks for replying. Are there any markings to tell which stage cams they are though?

info@skunk2.com: no they have to be measured on a cam doctor to determine what cams they are by looking at the specs...

I went to Dynospot Racing in San Jose, CA. once to tune my motor with the CTR
cams. (1 hour drive)

But I might go try Church Automotive Testing in Torrance, CA. to final tune my
motor with Skunk2 cams. (7 hours drive!

)

Links to all hondata tuners. http://www.hondata.com/contact.html
I'd only go to authorized hondata tuners WHO have a dynojet/dynopack or
who have access to a dynojet/dynopack.

So if the ctr cams don't have f and c it's not a ctr cam? Anyone know what letters came on itr cams?

I think the CTR cam Specs are incorrect. That is the popular numbers that have been floating around, but the Specs were written in a book I read that were

intake: 11.4046mm @243 @1mm ex:10.5918mm @235

i think they should make markings on the cams to signify the stage. otherwise it's easy to pass bad cams along.

Re: FYI: CTR cam and Skunk2 Stage2 cam PROIFILE & PICS (sander)

They should mark them. My stage 1's had 'M' and '2' on them. I went to buy Stage 2's from someone and they had the same thing, plus my dyno numbers were pretty identical. I probably ended up with another set of stage 1's.
