The truth comes on on Skunk2 Stage 2 cams... - Honda Prelude Forum

Ritteri will be pissed

This is scanned directly from the Skunk2 catalog, proving that the specs on the web are an error. As you can see, the specs of the Stage 2 cam that are posted on skunk2's website are actually the Stage 3 cam specs.

not really....that's catalogue I have right in my hand, that skunk2 said was wrong.

It makes no sense anyways....why would EX lift be .440 on stage one and .436 on stage 2?

True, but the duration is still longer. I highly doubt that there would too much error in a print catalog. I bet those truly are Stage 3 specs though.

So if Skunk2 made an error on the webpage, whose is to say that their "catalog" is correct and "free of errors"?

Did the catalog fairy tell you all is well in marketing land?

Seriously. The error on the webpage for the Stage 2 camshafts was on their duration specs, not the lift specs.

Well it appears as though the catalog contains more up-to-date information being as it lists specs for all 3 stages, whereas the site lists only stage 2 and lists stage 3 as TBD.

The skunk2 catalog sells for $10, so you'd think they'd put some serious effort to having that accurate. I could see a webpage containing erroneous information as more likely

i'm startin to wonder if i'm runnin stage 3's now after you guys are talkin about all this stuff. because my valve to piston clearance is about an 1/8 inch. these are supposed to be stage2 cams. if i put stage3 cams i'd hit my valves into my pistons when vtec hit. hey is stage2 stock idle lobes? cuz mine are supposed to be stock idle but i think they're slightly modified... maybe they are stage3's

Why doesn't someone who owns the cams measure them?

marcucci · 03-12-2003, 06:34 AM

WTF people. The web site, catalog, and their tech support all state different numbers. Until someone measures the cam we can't trust the data. Thread closed.
