I just want to get some feedback from anyone if they have aftermarket cams on their car.
I'm looking at the Skunk2, Crower, and JDM cams.
Which ones are more reliable for an everyday driver?
Which ones will give me the best performance for my Dollar?
Are they were the money?

 

i had crower and aem cam gears and gears and only put 10hp to the ground...so i would'nt get them.i honestly think they are a waste of money... who ever designed the head on our cars was a hell of alot smarter than all of us and im just gonna go with what they say..but i have heard good things about the jdm cams....(same guys that orignaly desinged ours) :dunno:

 

Don't bother w/ Type S cams if thats what you're referring to when you say "JDM cams". You won't even see 10 HP at the ground.

 

whooa i don't kno which stage cams you got but you got fuked...my friend got crower stage 2 cams with springs & retainers and i installed it for him...after that we took it to a dyno and i tuned it for him...overall he got 7-10 midrange hp and 16 hp peak...

 

crower stage 2 with stock idle loobs.

 

Luder1882:
Do you have Crower Stage 2?
If so did you notice a difference in performance and did it affect your car's reliability at all?

 

not yet, maybe around december is Santa brings it to me :crossesfingers:

 

I'm putting in JDM ITR cams in my car, lots of people suggested the Skunk 2 stage 2's, perfect for street/occasional track.

 

I'm looking at the Skunk2 Stage2 and Crower Stage2 w/ idle lobes. Does anyone have dyno results or heard of any gains on either set.

 

I think crower said about 42 to 27 hp. Not sure on the Skunk
