Default Skunk2 stage 2 cams

Greetings - I am a new member and had a question regarding the skunk2 stage 2 cams.
Anyone running them?
If so, have you seen more power in mid range?
I spent a lot of $ getting my head ported & polished with all the goodies.
Do you also hear a lot of valve clattering?

It seems from what I have read the oem cams are better at this point.

Thanks for your input!

If you're spending lots of $'s for gaining power I presume, why stay NA?

Spend that money on a compressor or turbo!

I personally would never put a lot of money in NA tuning, there are too less horses to be won imo

I agree with whats said ^
If you are planning on dropping some $$ then just go FI.

It will help in your quest to get the most out of your NA. How much, not very much. I was looking over some dynos someone has posted on here (dont have it accessible) and he made decent power (considering everything you do is minimal anyways), then they broke and had to get new ones.. when he put the new ones in, he lost power..

Nothing was changed...

From what I have seen, the Skunk2's really don't do much for an NA s2000 and only slightly better on a turbo. We are talking the biggest gains were like 8 or 9 HP in the midrange and little or no more power at the top.
