Bickering over maybe 1-2 hp....

The facts show that the Skunk2 is mildly more aggressive than the CTR cams. Since you have found a way to contradict everything stated in this thread go with the damn CTR cams already.

You are contradicting the fact with opinion. Again, the specs show that the Skunk2 is a little more aggressive than the CTR cams, but only a negligible amount.

Better? As in what sense? Knowing the stage 1 cams have a longer duration? Spending less for the same amount of power? Better build?

Obviously, the CTR cams are the better choice because they are cheaper, offer better build quality, and give about the same amount of power.
