Heres the deal I've got the chance to get some stage I cams for a good deal, but I've really wanted to get the stage II. My question is what is the difference between the two, and if anyone has stage I are you happy with them or do you wish you had stage II. I plan on getting an upgraded vavetrain, raising the compression, and getting a programmed ecu that raises the red line to 9k. Any help would be great thanks.

 

i currently am running stage 1 cams in my b16a with stock valvetrain and str cam gears. perfect idles and that make a huge difference i love my cams. i am up grading to a b18c with stage 2 cams here pretty soon so i will get back to you on that.

 

thanks. anyone else

I love my stage 1's. They put down 200whp no problem in a 1.8 and if you are looking for more power go with the 3's.

 

Sk2s1's

 

If you are going to bump up the compression, you should go with the stage 2

 

I like my Skunk2 Stage 1 cams as well.

 

thanks for all your help, i still haven't decided on which to get but those stage I keep looking better.

 

If you're raising the compression (You said you were), I would go with S2S2.

 

if you are under 11.5 cr stay with stage 1

i know someone that lost like 3 hp from stage 2 to stage 1 on his jdm itr with ported head, smsp header, and hondata

unless you are 2.0l or 12.0+ cr:

then stay with stage 1's

 

you better have enough fuel to support the cams as well as the air induction system. Also you might want to think about VAFC.

 

go with the stage 2 and build that bitch..if i were u i would build the block first to knock out the more expensive parts first...

 

i personally would go with 3's
