im about to put a head gasket on my sir2 b16 and while the head is off im gonna go skunk 2 dual valve springs, retainers, and valves. just wondering if the stage 3 cams will be too much duration to drive longer distances (like being unreliable) this is not my daily driver, but i do like to drive it to tennessee and florida from time to time. (i live in georgia) thanks for the help fellas! 
i would only go with stage 2. stage 3 is pretty much only for the race track. it will lope like crazy and be a little difficult to drive at just crusing speeds. plus, if you only have stock internals, stage 3 won’t do you any good anyways
i was thinking that too, so how is the lope and idle with stage 2? like could it still be daily driveable if need be? (even though mines not a daily)
its driveable. just noticeable when u’re idling. i hope this thing is getting tuned after wards right?
stage 2 lopes just a little at idle, but ok for a daily driver. but yes, get it tuned
important questions missed.
#1) which stage 2 and 3 camshaft? BIG difference between a skunk2 tuner series stage 2 and a pro series stage 2 fro example.
#2) do you have headwork and/or the supporting modifications to take advantage of cams that large?
oh yeah my bad lol, yeah im getting the head P/P tuner stage 2 cams. tuner springs retainers and flat top valves and def getting a tune  cause with those new cams im gonna wanna rev past 8200 with my b16 lol
 cause with those new cams im gonna wanna rev past 8200 with my b16 lol
how big of a difference power and torque wise would the skunk2 stage 2 tuner cams and skunk2 stage 2 pro series have?
