Default Skunk2 stage 1- any better then stock ???

I have a pair from my old GSR - never got a chance to install - now I have a type R motor and I was wondering if there is any improvement over stock?

With proper tuning you can see some decent gains :thumup: not much though.

What is your current setup?

Every engine is different...throw them im and see what you can make with them. They're not bad cams. They have a base circle very close to stock and should wear evenly.

I love the skunk stg1 cams. They are built perfectly for a stockish internal motor.

I have skunk2 stage 1's in my b16 (i know its not a c5) but I made more midrange on the dyno then a stock itr did (dynoed on the same dyno) Just an FYI. They idle like stock and provide nice gains.

The dyno used was yacks @ P1...The itr was prob one of you guys on here. It was a stock black ITR. He beat me by like 4-5whp up top, but again I have a b16a.

Mid-range is always better with stock cams, and I've noticed these cams are better suited for top end power. Do you happen to have a dyno graph?
