OK which one whould you buy and why? or which ones do you have and if you do what kinda gains did you get and impressions of them? Also is a valve train upgrade needed? Also what other cams are proven to be effective?...........damn sorry was only gonna ask one question but then all that other sh!t came out too......THANKS and happy luding

I would say go with skunk2, their stuff just inst playing around ..besides. crower makes good stuff.. but u have that small % of complains .. and type-s stuff is a lil type of stock ..skunk2 would have more bang for buck and there is a Groupbuy now for the cams for around $600 ..so thats not bad at all!!

Group buy for skunk2 cams for $600

That's a damn good price. They go for around $750...I got my crower stageII cams for $680.

type s cams have gotten many mixxed feelings. Some people have them and say it snot worth the money, smoe people say they like it, and some people say just go with aftermarket cams. I only know of 1 person Personally who has the skunk2 stg1 cams on his lude. Not all that impressive, but then again im comparing it to my crower stg2 cams

With any sort of cam change you should always change the valvetrain. I have Portflow stiffened inner valvesprings, and their Titanium retainers. When u get the cams make sure u get adjustable cam gars for tuning.

Hey Dan, what's your whp now? I was just reading a post about azndrgn(?), and he didn't get any impressive gains from it. I know he needs to do some tuning, but just wanted to know what you got. Also, I saw your vid. Where did you shoot it anyway?

Maybe I'll join you next time...

I would suggest valves, springs and retainers. That's what I did. It's really your choice.
