How much HP will stage 2 cams give my 95 civic ex d16z6? Thanks for any help.

 

like 10

 

Is that to the wheels?

 

maybe

if you are not running a mild setup than your gains wont be very much

 

best thing to do is figure out who's "stage 2" cams you're looking at buying and then have a look at their website and they'll tell you what kind of power output you'll get on your particular application.

 

crower stage 2 cam

i made 154whp@7750rpm with it

adj cam gear @-2*
xs chip
no tunning

i'm not running the crower valvetrain,stock z6 springs and retainers

it made 154whp on a mustang dyno..but i test it before the skunk 2 im. and exhasut and it made 138whp on dynojet,so i'm guessing it may put mid 140s now on a dynojet(same one)
i don't have the print out of the the dynojet run,this one is from the mustang dyno

 

first of all its "cam" you only have one. thus its not "cams" unless you have one or more.

crower=junk, they use weak cores and will break over time. get a Zex or something similar

i hate these stupid bullshit terms companies use. "stage 2 clutch, stage 2 cams" such crap, that doesnt MEAN ANYTHING. get the REAL information about the cam, lift, duration, overlap etc.

 

from d-series.org

I definitely like the Crower 2 much better. Zex cam had pretty midrange, but lacked high rpm power. The Crower makes lots of power in Vtec, especially after 6500 rpms. </TD></TR></TABLE>

zex doesn't have **** on crower, go crower if you are gonna turbo most definitely. i have heard bad things about zex

 

i love my zex

 

i love crower, i wont go with anything else but crower...you dont need an adjustable cam gear for the crower stage 2 cam because there ground is already set to "0"

obviously you don't know **** about the zex cam. People have seen over 20whp on turbo setups with their stage 2 cam. I even have it in my setup and it pulls super strong.

I have never heard of anyone having problems with the sohc crower cams. I've only heard good things. DOHC on the other hand is a different story. I've heard of plenty of those breaking.

that doesn't mean you still won't make more power by retarding it a couple of degrees or something. An adjustable cam gear is always a good idea if you want to get the maximum amount of power out of your cam.

The companies do that so you can tell a differance between cams when speakin about them... instead of saying oh i have the blah blah lift, with the blah blah blah duration, at the blah blah blah you can say, I have the skunk2 stage 2. then you can go and look up what the specs are on the cam.
good idea, no?

no its a stupid idea

 

I don't buy that 156whp@7750 graph on a y8/z6 hybrid... my opinion...

 

and mustang dynoes usually read low correct?
