Hello, i am asking here, because here guys you have bigger expierence! :) ;) So i am thinking to buy new cams for my B18C6 engine and i am thinking about Skunk2 Tuner1 or Tuner2 cams! I am thinking to skim head about 0,3mm! I want to know which ones would be the best for my engine, because i don,t rebuild bottom end and don,t want to skimm very much head! Thanks! ;)

Just now want to get some more power, and want to know which one Skunk2 Tuner cams will be the best for Street driving and ocasional track racing! :)

Have you looked at the pro series from skunk2? Personally wouldn't bother with tuner 1s. Doesn't seem like much of an upgrade from a ek9 cams to me.

Pro Series i think for street is too agressive! Need to raise compresion with bigger compresion pistons! And i don,t want to do it! I want to build with stock bottom end, and put in head some god Skunk2 internals! Now i found out that my head is never been skimmed! I think i skim head 0.3mm and buy Skunk2 Tuner2 cams with springs and retainers! :) What you think? :)
 
Sounds like alot of work for little gain to me, but of your set on stock bottom end and s2 cams then I guess that's the best choice.
 
Tbh Id just keep the engine pretty stock, breathing mods and a remap.

Then focus on gearing throw money at your gearbox and you will get a lot more performance than gaining 5-10bhp from the engine.
 
Logan's spot on. Prefer a decent gearbox than an extra 10hp.
Nice gearset or even just a shorter final drive ratio makes a huge difference.
 
Pro 1 cams with a head skim on stock bottom end works very well. I have a good few customers running this setup, providing the cams are dialed in and mapped correctly the engine idles great(will happily idle at 900rpm) and drive-ability is as good as with stock cams.
 
I think i stay with Skunk2 Tuner2 cams! I think for street and ocasional track racing it will be good upgrade! I only wanted to know how much need,s compression for these cams! Somwhere i find from 11:5- 11:8 , that,s are the best compression, and how much WHP could i get with this setup? :) Thanks! :)
 
I have a set of Skunk2 Tuner 2 cams if you are looking ;)
 
Tuner 2 and Pro 1 cams work well with 12.0:1 compression.
