what cams should I run with this set up?

[hatchman]

I have san 1996 gsr with dc header, skunk2 intake manifold, thermal exhaust, test pipe, aem cam gears, and 9.3 mm spark plug wires with ngk plugs. I am going to put an type r transmission on it with an exedy clutch, and I need to know a good set of cams to run I thought about skunk2 stage 2 but if there are some better ones let me now please this will be an all motor project with a shot of nitrous. I will put in a ferra valve train too. I will be running hondata too, the question I have about that is should I buy the three bar map sensor too or no? I won't touch the bottom end until the summer. My shot will be a 60 shot dry at open thottle.

I have the Crower stage 2 and they are little bit too aggressive for my setup so I think you may want to look into stage 1's, but I have a LS.

I personally like the specs and the price on the zex/comp cams #57200. I also like crane's 253-0012 cam. But the best cam out on the market for the B series is suposed to be the Buddy Club spec 3. Actually the spec 4s just came out last week, but I haven't heard anything about them yet. Let me look into it....

**Edit** - I checked out buddy club's website and they still only list the spec 3s. I'll keep looking for the spec 4s but I heard they are race only so the spec 3s are probablly what you want anyway.

Description from Modacar -
Buddyclub spec III camshafts best new cam on the market. best overall power band gains of any cam.
This cam creates an ideal power band, with substantial power gains from idle all the way up to red line.
Buddy Club spec III cams are easy to tune and have much better throttle response than OEM cams.
Definitely a versatile cam, accomodating compression ratios from 10.0:1 all the way to 13+. After testing 14 sets of different cams in our project car, we found this cam to be the most impressive...Even though it did not make the most peak Hp, it had the best over all powerband and response!
Dyno gains of 8+ Wheel Horsepower @ 4000 RPM and 10+ Wheel Horsepower @ 8200 rpm. OVER Civic Type R cams. Peak torque also increased from 2-10 ft/lbs across the entire rev range.
This camshafts is ideal for stock bottom end ls/crv VTEC's reving to 8,000-8500. Tuning & technical advice is also available from us after you have purchased these camshafts

Do you have a stage 2 clutch with a stage 3 turbo and stage 1 weight reduction?

You have the crower 60403s dummy. Called the 403s for short. In reallity they would be like a stage 3 or 3.5 cam. There is the 401s, the 402s, the 402ts, and another 402 I believe before your cams. Only the 404s are more aggressive.

Actually I have the 62403-2 cams.

Sounds like you haven't put a lot of thought into how you want to build your car. You won't need a 3 bar MAP unless you are boosting, the ferrea valve train is useless unless you are porting the head, and skunk2 stage 2 and buddy club sp.3 sound they will be too radical for your current mod list. I would suggest some Rocket cams at m24x; talk to robert about what profile will be best for your setup. Skunk2 stage 1 or ctr cams would be beneficial to you, and can be had for fairly cheap. What cam profile you choose depends on what plans you have for your motor, but basicaly what you want right now will be something mild like I mentioned earlier.

 

[K2e2vin]

i havent seen rocket m24 dynos(except maybe the car that omnipower built) but the buddy club spec III+'s idle the same as the CTR cams and i remember someone dynoed it against s2s2 cams and the buddy clubs made more power. also with the buddy club you dont have to rev past 8000 or 9000rpm to make power.

 

[UDT]

Dont listen to any one else Go to IB specs web site and talk to jeff. This guy needs help jeff can offer. cams and valve train. Hes gonna be up shit creek if he keeps lisining to you douche bags. Jeffs got his shit down, and the wicked cams were very impresive.



Fuckin mother fuckers.............stooge oone chimes in and then his fuckin partner in doucheism scrode number two. :headsmash:

You guys are like those two douche bags the turbo twins, you sound like a couple of fuckin imbread import tuner fans.

What a couple a dingle berrys



And oh yeah what the F 'uck are you talking about maps sensors for. In all honesty it sounds like you needto do some more research man.

 

[posol]

if anyone wants buddy club shit, i got a hook up.

talk to me WHEN YOU ARE READY TO BUY.
I am not tech support, i don't have prices, and I don't have time to be so. If you are ready to purchase a buddy club item, be it cams or wheels, i can get it for you for sick prices. pm me with what you want and only if you intend to buy it.

There are the:

62401 - Stock replacement, automatic, mild turbo. Idle to 7000+.
62402 - Stage 1- Street use and agressive Turbo or Nitrous. Idle to 7500 rpm. (up to 12 hp).
62402-t - Stage 2 - Turbo/Super Charger specially designed specifically for forced induction applications. Features short duration, high lift for added cylinder pressure and good bottom end power. Requires kit 84162.
62403 - Stage 2 - Street/Strip package. MOST POPULAR profile. Requires 84162 kit. 1000 to 8000+ rpm (15-18 hp).
62404 - Stage 3 - 3/4 Race, recommended for mostly strip. Requires 84162 kit and ECU mod. 1100 to 8200+ rpm, lope at idle. Springs required. (18-21 hp). (Will pull on ITR's w/mild mods)
62405A - Stage 3 - Full race, all-out, all-motor drag profile. Not for the inexperienced tuner. Requires 84162 kit. 1200 to 8500+ rpm.
62405-2's - Stage 3 - Full race. Cylinder head, rocker and valve train modifications and machine work required. Titanium valves recommended. 1300-9000+ rpm. (22+ hp)

Therefore the 62403'sa re not a stage 3 or 3.5 cam. It is infact a stage 2 cam. Stage 3 starts @ 404's.

Sorry I posted this but I cant stand when people speculate.

 

[sohcslammer]

I don't know where you got your "information" but the 401s are a stage 1. The 402s are a stage 2 and guess what? Yep, the 403s are a stage 3. The 401s are NOT a stock replacement. And if you look up the specs on the 403s they are more agressive than just about any other stage 2 cam. I am also pretty sure there is another 402 that you didn't list.

Ok... So you're saying the info I got from HTTP://CROWER.COM is wrong?

Well then look at this picture which I took a screen shot from @ http://crower.com/cat/import/honda/camshafts.shtml Scroll down to the "Crower Acura B18A and B18B DOHC Camshafts (Non VTEC)" You sir, are wrong.

00063-2 Custom and proprietary grinds available, contact factory for specs.



OK we can stop arguing now. I guess their VTEC and non VTEC cams are different. In the VTEC cams the 63401 is stage 1 and so on. My bad, I guess we are both right.

Actually I have the 62403-2 cams.

This why I posted the info about the LS cams made by Crower. So either you just cant read or didnt pay enough attention to the fact he wrote 62403-2 and not 63403-2. Either way, I was posting factual information.

Back on topic. Save your money and build your engine all at once instead of buying a mild set of cams now and a more aggressive set later. And in that time, you can do an assload more research.

I apologize for side stepping the subject. But, he's write do it all at once and in the future so you can do tons more research and dont go in blindly (like so many people have done).

Dude, let it go jackass. I've been friends with the guy for like 15 years. I helped him build his car. I think I know it's a fucking LS. I just didn't know that crower used 62401 as a stock replacement and 63401 as a stage one. I only had seen the VTEC specs before. But I'm glad it makes you feel superior to keep pointing out that you were right and I was wrong and how smart you are.

Shut the fuck up. No one likes you anyway. :fuckyou3:

Fuck all these aftermarket cams and get a good 2.5 inch collector header and some ITR or Skunk2 stage Is. Most of the cams mentioned need more compression than a stock GSR bottom end has, either of these two are good, cheap alternatives. If you want to spray get a wet shot, not some half-assed dry shot.
