Hey,
I think my Victor X is hurting my performance. My GSR is running 11.4:1 compression (CTR pistons), bored, ported, polished, balanced, strenghtened, ect. I/H/E too. got a JG 65mm throttle body on it too.
I have a full set of ITR valvesprings and retainers i got with the car i plan to install along with CTR cams.
ITR valvetrains are good to 8400, correct?
The victor x only makes power from 7k-10k, so is it pushing too much air?
If i were to put CTR valvetrain in, how high could i safley rev too?
Would it be high enough to merit keeping the Victor X?
If not, will a skunk2 or ITR mainifold bolt on directly to the B18C1 head? If not, what will be necessary to make it fit, new parts, ect?
Thanks

 

CTR cams makes no power at 10,000 RPM.

 

You need a good intake manifold now to unleash the power of your cams and make better use of the TB.

Don't see why a Skunk2 wouldn't fit. You 'd have to get the B18C1 one though. Just make sure you get an ITR intake because your GSR intake won't fit. The TB is located higher in the SK2 manifold, like the ITR's.

 

Oh btw, I got a Skunk2 for sale brand new in the box. $260 shipped.

 

did you have any work done on the combustion chambers?? I they were not made bigger or you have a shorter rod you should have more than 11.4 compression

 

only work to the engine is the full race port on the head, and bored .10 over. I need to runa compression test on it.

VTEConly, i might take you up on that skunk 2.

Would i be better off hunting down an CTR Valvetrain, or using an aftermarket spings and retainers with the CTR Cams? Im looking for nice power gains while the engine still runs nice and smoothly.
