Camshaft + Piston Compression = Help

[9ussy]

First and foremost, I would advise you to do some reading to get a better understanding of what camshafts do. You would need to be looking at upgrading valve train parts to support cams if they are of extreme lift and duration, noot your block. So please do some reading of the basic principles of internal compustion engines before asking if you need high-compression pistons to get your cams to produce power.

well he did say if he "was" to run the Skunk2 stage2 cams.. and of course anyone who even knows what tha heck skunk2 stage2 cams are and the basic knowledge of what they do to your engine .. they should know that you will need an valve train upgrade also... well my point is that your bashing on this guy b/c you think he's a noob... At least ask him " Do you know running Skunk2 stage2 cams.. that you'll need a valve train upgrade?? (Valves, Springs and retainers, etc...) "

Thank you sir ...

P.S. Al- Found my PR3's so I think they'll be fine if I run a 2 layer headgasket. But whoever said I was running Stage 2 cams? it was just a question

Sorry to confuse you but I already am running aftermarket valvesprings and retainers. enough to hold my lift. Also I said a stock block, never said anything about runnin stock internals on the head. It was just a basic question if I should be running a higher compression with more aggressive camshafts. But thanks I've already done my research and have gotten my answer.

I really wasn't attempting to bash on anyone. In reading the OP's question as it was written it really seemed like he was missing the boat as to how cams operate. The OP also cleared the fact that he already had upgraded valve train in a later post, something that would have been very beneficial to know up front and also saved on some confusion. I had no idea that he was attempting to ask if using hi-comp pistons along with cams would add more power, it really seemed that he was attempting to make sure he had the correct supporting mods for the cams.

And as far as the "hate hate hate" chit. Dude get real, I am not hating on anyone. I was attempting to help the guy gain some useful knowledge, which by the wording of his original post it seemed that he really needed.
