right now in my 99 Ex coupe im running a JDM Sir-g with I/H/E, FPR and VAFC2. With that set up alone and STOCK everything else the car runs 14.6s and 14.7s @94MPH. My goal for the car is just to get it into the 13s period without going wild with the motor being that its a daily driven car. I was told that if i install a CTR intake cam, skunk2 manifold and cam gears and tune everything that it will be possible for me to run 13s. Im still running a stock clutch and flywheel in which i wil eventually change. Do you all think 13s is possible?. The reason why i would consider going with this set up is because i know that with skunk cams i will not get their full potential without raising compression which is somthing that I am not ready to do right now.

Yes 13's are possible. I think you have your mind in the right place. Good luck.

I don't believe you need to raise compression to use Skunk2 cams. You'll get more hp with higher compression, hell you'd get that with your stock cams, but I don't think it's nessicary. I remember reading a test with a B18C1 (I want to say Turbo magazine but I don't remember, it was a while ago) of Type R cams vs Skunk2 stage 1's I think (both using the appropriate valve springs) and the Skunk2 was better across the board. I think you'll be able to hit 13's with a new set of cams and maybe a little time on a dyno with a fuel tuning computer (like a V-AFC).

That'll probably be close. Can you lighten the car anymore without stripping the interior?
