    Default Which Cams?

    Im in the process of building my new setup. Im wondering what is going to be the best cam for my car. I was going to go with Skunk 2 Pro 2's or Skunk 2 Stage 2 Turbo cams. Im shooting for 600whp. Which cam do yall think will be better? Or any other suggestions? Thanks in advance everyone!

    pro 2s are way too aggressive.

    Skunk2 STAGE 1s NOT PRO 1s or ITR cams

    they support 700whp

    when you say stage 1s do you mean regular stage 1s or turbo stage 1s?

    depends on wat kind of manifold you are using. for the the price stay away from the CTR cams. they are way to expensive for stock. if your going to use a log manifold use the stage 2 turbo cams. and if you have an equal length use the pro 2s. big, aggresive cams work very very well with equal length manifold and are way better than stock. just take a look at the cams i'll be using with my equal length manifold. i've done tons of research on this and there are plenty of dyno's that prove this. with log manifold it better to have a cam with high lift and short duration and with equal high lift long duration. just pick a good cam according to wat your whole set it up is going to be like.

    My cams VS stock GSR cams

    ill have to disagree, the PRO2s are way to aggresive for a turbo car.

    in FI you want to get as much air IN , and as much air OUT as possible. You would want a shorter lift, an a high duration cam, but to a point.

    guys are making 700whp with ITR an Skunk2 stage 1 cams. I see no reason to GAMBLE on other cams

    I gained 38 whp from going from GSR cams to set of second gen itr, also known as ctr cams. At the exact same amount of boost. Robi
    Pro2's are blow by sticks in FI. IMO of course
