Default skunk2 vs Blox cams.

Liked to know your thoughts on Blox stage 2 vs skunk2 stage 2's, going into my usdm type-r motor..i broke my crane cams, lucky i was just taking off at a light lighty, cracked the exhaust cam not in half, but it was between cyl1/2 and it was on the first non-vtec lope and between the vtec lope which is good, it didn't bend any valves, nor scrape anything, jesus christ was on my side.. cause early that day, i had raced a few cars reving to around 9500...thx god i didn't break it then,in any case, i'm tryin to get your thoughts on blox stage2 cams vs skunk2 stage 2 cams, i have a buddy thats goin to sell me his skunk2's for around 500, but i'm running a fully built crower race head, everything is full race, dual race springs, tit retainers/intake/exhaust valves i'm also running cranes rocker arms, stock bottem end, with a 1 layer spoon HG, CR is roughly 11.4:1, all your major bolt ons, tuned on crome.. with the cranes i made great power(stage2)'s but looking at the skunk2's i should make BETTER power up high and better mid range, however i hear alot about these blox cams and am ready, now right now i'm running some worn out, beat to piss itr exhaust cam gear out of a buddies jdm itr, however its so worn out i want it out now..the car doesn't see above 3000 for the past week now which cam would be better for me..i loved crane dont get me wrong but i'm in a position to where, i think i need to try something new, if i could i'd go back to crane but right now i need to get something worth it..so lemme know guys.

They're the same....made by the same manufacturer, in the same factory, with the same specs. So get whatever's cheaper.

ya know... i do still have that set of s2... i haven't heard much about the blox... but i've seen decent gains on the s2's, nothing toda/jun worthy... but still good quality gains

and i have my set NIB ... for a GSR... but i believe it doesn't matter

I swear I said that already????

The skunk2 state 2's outperform the toda b's on every dyno chart I've seen, and can hang with Spec D's...theyre good cams. And again, cams don't have lopes....they have lobes.
