anybody here running the Skunk 2 Cams with the titanium valve springs and retainers?? im considering purchasing these but i dont wana spend a grand for something thats not really gonna have a drastic change, i had crower stage 1 cams in my swapped accord and really didnt feel much but from what ive heard if the s2k is tuned the skunks can give up to 23hp and 20 ft pounds of torque....

 

I would be interested to know this as well...
I've heard good things about the crower cams/valves/springs/retainers in our cars, but nothing about the skunk2.

 

yeah bump for more info if anyone has any....i just saw these advertised on jhpusa.com

 

yeah, im interested as well. Somebody needs to step up for guinea pig testing if no one shows up lol

 

no cam to this date has gained more hp then the stock cams except the first production batch of the toda cams (the new ones self destruct).

OEM cams are perfectly fine.

 

how bout the headers. Do they give good gains?

 

from what i have been reading, some you get gains from some you don't. If you do they are minimal at best

 

dyno test prove that the skunks give around 20ish hp and torque gain

 

heres the dyno from skunks website

That gain isn't only with cams. It an s2k with exhaust, header, intake, cams, and likely a tune.

Cams alone will get you absolutely nothing or minimal gains, as someone previously mentioned.

Just noticed they are using an aem ems. All these parts add up to more than a supercharger for half the power.
