Skunk2 Stage 1 cams are pretty agressive, you will need to replace your valvetrain.

I've seen many horror stories. I wouldn't advise it. The profiles are very agressive for stock valvetrain.

Bent and broken valves, shattered springs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just wouldnt advise it. And Skunk Stage 1's are MORE aggressive than ITR cams.

I'm just saying install it at your own risk.

my buddy has been runnin skunk stage 1s for like a year on stock valvetrain with no problem.......float occures when you raise the rev limiter and the springs cant keep up with the profile on the cam at the raised speed......with stock limiter you stock valvetrain will be fine
