anyone on this forum have/had skunk2 pro2 cams mated to a stock type r head (stock valve springs retainers)?
should i go ahead and do the whole skunk2 setup?

 

i wouldnt run those cams with a stock valvetrain. your gonna be pushing it

 

agreed. i'm pretty damn sure that they "strongly recommend" upgrading the valve train from stock. i'm running pro 1's with their valve-train and I have no issues.

get their pro-series springs and retainers, don't half-ass something you will most definately regret

you need!

 

you cannot use the Pro 2s or any other skunk cam (except the original stage 1, not the pro1) with stock or ITR valvetrain. You need to upgrade valvetrains to handle the increased lift. If you do not, you will have coil bind and your springs with break or not be able to push the valve closed and your valves will "float." Once they do this, your pistons will make contact and a valve will drop. When the valve drops, your pistons bounce the valve head around until the pieces shoot out of your header. your block will crack, pistons will break, head will be screwed, and many other things will be done.

cliff notes for the lazy: DO NOT USE SKUNK 2 PRO SERIES CAMS WITHOUT AFTERMARKET SPRINGS AND RETAINERS!!!

 

thanks all. i figure that much and i also didnt wanna go by wut my dumass friends had to say.

 

wow. pro1's are all you need.

whats your hp goal

 

Ant,
Which motor? The built type r?
You need quite a bit of compression to get the most out of them.
