do a search. There are 200+ posts that i just did a search on that will net you the information you desire. it is all here. Spend some time and read over a lot of it as it is good info. I went with the Skunk stage 1 and i am happy at 185/130 with bolt ons stock compression.

Toda spec A Can't beat ToDa quality.
In case anyone is wondering, Skunk2 cams are made in Taiwan by this company http://www.worldwild.com.tw/ who isn't a performance or racing specialist, just a Taiwanese cam maker.

At least with TODA you're dealing with a racing company with better quality cores.

Blade:

While the Toda cams are indeed nice i still think Skunk2 has a nice cam for a great price depending upon where you buy it (got mine for $660 shipped). I really haven't heard of problems with Skunk2 either.

A buddy of mine said that Skunk cams won't last as long and that over time they are more prone to galling than OEM cams because of the nitride coating on the OEM cams. He reccomended that i get the Skunk's nitride coated but i neglected. I am satisfied thus far with Skunk.

i would pick toda's over the skunks as well..
but it doesn't matter where they are made...it matters how they are made..
and the specs.
supposedly, jun cams are made by crower.
i honestly could care less...i haven't seen many threads about skunk cams
breaking.
