LOL thats funny (no offense to you)

If i recall, Skunks first set of cams had MADDD problems, then they came up with this new generation of cams, saying they were a lot better, now im sure it has increased in quality quite a bit, but there is still a chance.

Same as w/ JUN, there is a chance of breakage w/ all cams.

My Vote goes for JUN

 

skunk2 stage 2. I have skunk2 stage 3 and I think they are better then stage 2 that a friend of mind has.

 

This is kind of like asking "which carbon fiber hood is better?" Everyone has their own opinion, and you'll probably never get a rock solid answer. Some swear by Skunk, some swear by JUN, but as stated above, just about every cam maker has experienced breakage problems.

your right it is , accually the skunk2 car ran jun3 cams for about a year then copied them, as far as reliability i have seen plenty of both cams have problems. skunk2 just keeps it hush hush.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

 

I`m runnig my Jun 3 for about 2 years now with 204 whp and 144wtq and no problem with them.

 

Without a doubt I say JUN3's.

 

we run skunk2 stage 2 with good results... i dont have problems with skunk cams...honestly i do think japanese cams are of much better quality.. but comparing price/power ratio hands down.. skunk2

 

if you question the reliability the only thing you need to look at, is what kind of material JUN cams are made out of, and skunk2.
omniman, you yourself use OEM material regrinds like the skunk2......

personally I dont think there is any real difference whatsover, breakage, fatigue, etc are all due to crap installs or a bad batch of cams, which i'm starting to hear ALOT of rumors that skunk2 put out a bad batch of earlier this year.

skunk2 had more problems than anyone when they were with the billet cam......the previous material they used, that many companys still use, is something i don't care to run

 

skunk 2's are replicas of jun3's. Its all subjective.. some people like skunk 2's others jun 3's. But Jun 3's are JDM .. so it must make 10 WHP over the skunk 2's

 

i dont know why people keep saying their identical..?

Jun Type 3 12.0 mm, duration - 265.3 @ 1mm 11.5 mm, duration - 265.3 @ 1mm
Skunk2 stage 2 12.3 mm, duration 266 @ 1mm 11.8 mm, duration 262 @ 1mm

..sure they're similar but they are different. =P

They're not "exactly" the same. The Skunk 2's are "replicas". Depending on the head... the block... the whole setup....the dyno.. and the time of day.. some people make more power over the other. They're both good cams depending on the setup.

 

&lt;--- who should I vote for???

 

Jun 3's and Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams are identical...Mic the cams and you will see for yourself. It is definitely possible that Skunk 2 used Jun cams in their car...You don't think they used their stage 1 cams on their car do you!! Skunk 2 Stage 2 and Stage 3 cams were not even out back then! The Stage 2 cams are a direct copy, a lot of people know this!

 

ARE YOU BLIND!?!?!

Jun Type 3 12.0 mm, duration - 265.3 @ 1mm 11.5 mm, duration - 265.3 @ 1mm
Skunk2 stage 2 12.3 mm, duration 266 @ 1mm 11.8 mm, duration 262 @ 1mm

"Direct Copy" and "Similar" are two different words..you should learn to use them accordingly..!

 

#1 I did not even use the word similar in my post, try reading my post and you will CLEARLY see this!

Skunk 2 sent the Jun 3 cams to his manufacturer plant to have them copied...Now he may have changed the cam ever so slightly so that he could call the cam his own however considering how inconsistent Skunk 2's products are it is hard to give a definite conclusion to this question. If you were to mic several sets of Skunk 2 cams they would all vary ever so slightly which would result in inconsistent lift and duration specs! For all intensive purposes the cams will dyno virtually the same so is this discussion really needed!

Remember when they were Skunkwork's, my brother worked for Lockheed Martin in Palmdale in the F-117 program back then. He told me they had two Lawyers pursuing them on the name that's why they changed their name. I would say go JUN 3.

 

skunk 2 put out 5 hp on a h22a -_-
