Hi,

Currently got Spoon cams but want to change for a bit more aggresive profile. Was looking at Skunk2 Stage2's. Anyone recommend or had experience with these.

$720 is the cheapest I have found so far.

skunk is very bad VERY BAD
stick with toda stuff

 

why is skunk bad?

 

Skunk2 cams are not bad. There's plenty of ITR guys on HondaTech making around 200whp on stage 1s. Stage 2s will definitely benefit from more compression, and you'll need to upgrade to an aftermarket valvetrain if you haven't already. Hop over there and do a search ... you'll find a TON of info on Skunk2 cams.

 

haha this post combined with your sig makes you look like one ignorant ass.

but tell us, why are skunk2 cams bad? and why are rota wheels bad?

oh, and why are Toda's good?

Real reasons from your own experiences please.

 

skunk cams tend to have alot of problems at high rpms but if I am an ignorant ass run them and find out the hard way like we did
as for rota wheels go autoX your car on 225 r tires and the will bend
toda is good ask the top race teams they will tell you the same

one last thing I have time with skunk and with the people that built cars for them and they dont use skunk cams

so HAHAHAHAhAAHAH
and run your shit parts you cheap ass f&^#er and have fun still LOOKING like a race car

 

Older skunk2 cams broke, newer ones have not had a single problem that I've heard of and I know a lot of people who run them locally. Toda does make nice cams, never said they didn't. But, ANY cam can make power for a street car. I like Toda's non-vtec lobes in the SpecB/C though.

As for rotas, I've autox, tracked and curbed a set at ~35-40mph which resulted in a SLIGHT bend (still balancable). I hit a 15mph pothole in stock wheels and bent the shit out of them.

Looking for a race car? lol oooook. I keep my econo box civic chassis cars on the street for a reason.

 

Dave who is this guy?
and cvracer01 Do you own a ITR?

Well I have had the Rotas SS wheels for a year now that i bought use and they are very strong and never gave me a problem. I live in NYC and drive the caR about 300-400 miles aweek and trust me I hit holes and bumps daily that would break most cars and yet the Rotas stay true.
Oh and yes I do track with them and occaasionally hit the gator strips.

So as for the wheels being week- I don't think so.

 

Well, I've been here about an hour and I 've already learned that cvracer01 is a jack ass. As fo the original poster:

Spoon
Int-256 dur. / 11.5mm lift
Exh-245 dur. / 11.1mm lift

JUN Type 2
Int-267 dur. / 12.0mm lift
Exh-265 dur. / 10.9mm lift

Skunk2 Stage 2
Int-266 dur. / 12.3mm lift
Exh-262 dur. / 11.8mm lift

JUN Type 3
Int-265 dur. / 12.0mm lift
Exh-265 dur. / 11.5mm lift

Out of those I'd go for the JUN 2's with a slight bump in compression via an HG. But then again I don't know exactly what you're looking to get out of your motor. BTW what kind of numbers did the Spoon cams put down, I'm considering those in the distant future.

 

Who is he? :shrug: dunno. He hasn't returned since this thread I don't think.

My Rota's are still going strong :P Though I might switch to something else soon. Thinking about autocrossing the car again and if so I'll mount some real tires on the rotas.
