I am almost finished putting back together my engine.

Its a b18c1 with skunk2 stage 2 cams, skunk2 intake mani, and ctr n1 crank pulley.
Also, short ram, and a JDM ITR 4-1 header with 2.5" cat. Dunk exhaust

Am I making a mistake and going to put out worse numbers than if I had jdm itr pistons in my block ?

Will stage 1s put down better numbers than me ?

 

if u wanna keep bottom end stock with stage 2 cams, mill ur head and maybe go with a 2layer headgasket to raise ur compression, it will work but im guessing u wont be taking full advantage of the cam in which case u just just stick with stage 1 type cam

 

yeah, i know I am not using the cams to their potential, however I just wanted to make sure I am not going in the opposite direction. As long as I can see numbers just as good as stage 1s I am fine. I am going to do the bottom end next summer.

would the jdm itr pistons bump up the compression enough to take advantage of those stage 2's?

 

if you know ur gonna bump the compression up sooner or later....might as well get the stage 2s.
