Sure you can use the cams, for how many revolutions is the question.

I already told you everything you should do. You're going boost and still messing with Skunks <shrug> Also, don't forget about the entire proper building of the engine information I've given you.

I don't mind helping, but, I call a spade a spade. If you aren't going to spend money to get things taken care of right, plan on spending what you spend two fold. Enjoy.

I was just about to say they were the stage 2 cams. Why would they tell you to use the stage 2 on high boost?. well then again they are close to the turbo cams.

I just thought of something. Maybe those cams are not for your motor but for another and that’s why they look different. Just a thought, They should all look almost the same for the motor. The lobes all should be in the same place and the cams should be the same length.

Reading comprehension issues? I didn't say "you cannot use Skunks on a FI application" nor did I say "you cannot make any type of power using Skunks", or did I?

I am my own tuner, I've been there and done that as well as have the shirt, rest assured. While I would like to continue to make canny comments regarding my experience in a comparison with yours, I unlike you, will not assume I know you or what you have done.

im guessing your the one with reading issues...

your first post was BAD MOUTHING skunk cams like they were shit.... you made a snide remark about them.

congrats on you tuning your own cars.... i dont care.

you made it seem like using a skunk2 cam was a bad thing, when THOUSANDS of people say diff, i was curious as to why you would try and tell people they are shit. or even hint at it with your ALL KNOWING ENGINE BUILDING knowledge that you supposedly gave someone, and at the same time are calling one of the best cam producers out junk.... id start to question your knowledge that is ......



IF I KNEW YOU.


and i dont.....

Because there are better cams than the "Skunks" that he has for the application he expressed desire for while retaining a desired near stock idle. Never did I say Skunk camshafts were shit nor insinuated that they were. My response was given to particular conversations held within PM with the OP (i.e. the one who created the thread - hence was not a general statement made to ADDRESS the public).

Perhaps you could have asked for clarification or at the least hold a rational, civilized and mature debate seeing that you're certain I was making derogatory statements against Skunk or it's products.

As to the knowledge I've given the OP, it was not even the tip of the iceberg oriented information regarding engine building and/or recommendations.

That said. Any further questions, concerns or misunderstandings?

yeah plenty of questions...

so saying...

"i dont know why your messing with skunks <shrug"

isnt badmouthing a skunk cam.... you could have easily said....

i think there are better cams for you setup. yadda yadda.

and i know wtf a OP is.... and if you were holding a convo in PM, you expect me to know when you and him have cute little inside talks about certain things.... its a pm i.e. PRIVATE MESSAGE....

you could have voiced your opinions in the pms again......

which im curious as to why you didnt....
