dunno.. might be that there are other companies out there that offer cams for the same price- but not as aggressive... might be cause there is a slight trend to go away from drag and on to RR/autox-these cams don't have enough mid for those kids.. good question though- Ebay is the answer perhps?

They are some pretty extreme cams, especially the intake and you would need a pretty hardcore valvetrain to keep up with it. I don't even know if I would trust the S2 valve train with them. Otherwise I'd buy them from you. I'm still set on Stage 2's at this point.

P.S. Anyone wanna tell me the pressure of the aftermarket valvesprings at around 12.8-13mm of lift?

I dunno, I've had alot of offers, but nobody ends up getting them.

"I don't even know if I would trust the S2 valve train with them. Otherwise I'd buy them from you."

yeah, I was going to use the skunk valve train on these... but the ferrea valve train is nice... and strong, and could easily hold up to these cams...

$600 new is actually a pretty good price, for some stupid reason i though tthat you were selling them used. if any one cares i have been running theese cams on crower springs and retainers for over a year daily driven.

you need 13.0+ cr and at least 2.0+ displacement.

unless your top end breaths really good. it will be a waste getting those big *** cams

I don't mean to scare away buyers..but I would never buy Skunk2 cams used. I don't think there's a good way to tell if they're authenitic.

600 shipped is also too high for a used part imho, as I think the lowest price I've ever come across for a set of new Skunk2's from a reputable dealer was 650 shipped. 700 new shipped is common. Ppl usually arn't concerned if you got paid too much when you bought the part in the first place (i.e.-750 or more). If I'm going to buy a used part, there's no way I'm going get a used part (esp cams, since mileage & wear is virtually impossible to tell) w/ a 10% discount unless it was something that's really difficult to get in the first place. If I were selling used Skunk2's, and want to get paid within 2 weeks, I'd prob list and try to sell realistically for 550, and go no lower than 450 for the lowballers.

Of course, if you're willing to wait longer, chances are that there will eventually be a buyer who is willing to take your offer.

Would a 12.0:1 - 12.3:1 be enough compression for these cams?

it's because September is the WORST month for import parts sales.

October ain't much better.

just give it some time man...if you need the cash then take a little cut in price.

They made over 200whp... on a 1.9L motor.... beating toda d's in power... on 12:0 compression... 12:3:1 would be better... 12:5-13:0 would make crazy power on these cams...

There was something wrong with that engine, they have 2.0L engines with JUN 3's fully built making 230whp.

What's the highest someone has seen on a dyno with these cams?
