Hey,

I've heard the blox racing cams type a (stage1) outperform the ctr/itr cams.

I don't want to use stage2 cams, because I don't want to change my stock compression (b16a1 engine) and don't want to use titanium retainers (because of the wear).

The price of the blox cams is lower than new ctr cams, so I've thought about getting blox type a cams and a jdm itr valvetrain.

Who's got information on these cams? - specs,dynos,opinions? everything is welcome.

thx in advance,
marc

 

from what i heard bloxA,B wicked and skunk 1,2,3 cams are the same but im not 100 percent sure

 

Im running type A camshafts. with a blox manifold. Im pretty happy with it. My base run was 170. I dynoed at about 180 whp 178 to be exact.(my edit) This was all on a P28.


I actually dont have the cam specs at the moment, but I do have them somewhere. The lift and duration is slightly more then the CTR cams. The Skunk2 stage 1 have higher duration (in./exh.) when compared to blox type A. From what I remember, correct me if I am wrong, the Blox Type A Intake cam has higher lift when compared to the skunk2 Intake cam. Ill try to get you the numbers asap.

My mechanic who is a blox distributor told me:
Wicked = Blox (but repackaged as wicked)
Skunk2 specs are different

 

Thx for replies, are you using stock valvetrain or itr/ctr valvetrain?

I am using supertech valvspings and retainers. They edit(springs) have 70lb seat pressure. 2lbs less then skunk2.

 

Here is a quick comparison.

1997-1999 ITR
INTAKE lift - 11.5 mm, duration 240 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.5mm, duration 235 @1mm

2000-2001 ITR
INTAKE lift - 11.5 mm, duration 243 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.5mm, duration 235 @1mm

BLOX TYPE A
INTAKE lift - 11.734 mm, duration 247 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.67mm, duration 239 @1mm

SKUNK2 STAGE 1
INTAKE lift - 11.582 mm, duration 252 @1mm
EXHAUST lift - 10.82mm, duration 249 @1mm

I love em!!

Great with my stock block Gsr.

If you want a more aggresive set up, go with the stage 2's and bump your compression.

I want to keep my block stock, looking for something that would work with that......

 

I would go with the blox type A then...

 

can you give me a website or there site address so I can do reading anout there cam's thanx

 

Should I go with type A or B? I just installed CTR pistons and ITR valvesprings on my b16. But engine not installed into car yet.

All I plan on doing is cams, cams gear, obd2 to obd1 and p28 chipped ecu. Daily drivin

 

Just an opinion, I would go with Type B since you are running high compression.

Just be sure to upgrade the springs and retainers. I dont know if the itr springs can handle a type B lift...
