Cams

[Jtmoney025]

I have a D16Z6 motor and I do not know which cams I should install. I plan on doing many mods except a turbo. What I am thinking about is a stage 2 COMP cam. Please anyone have any ideas or what cams do you have? Thanks Jason:pfft:

Your best bet is to select a cam manufacturer and give them a call. Tell them what your goals are with the car and they will point you in the right direction as far as cam size and stuff.

Skunk2 makes good shit. I've never heard anything bad from them.

i like the skunk2's too. i'd go w/ skunk2 stage II w/ skunk2 valvetrain. its a good idea to get a new valvetrain w/ stage II, III... cams.

yep, you are right, for some reason i thought they were out.

one reason to upgrade the valvetrain w/ the stage II's is that the manufacturer recommends it, and it is never a bad idea to follow the advice of the people putting the product through many tests. another reason is the stock valvetrain will not be very reliable w/ the more aggressive cams, so it is a good idea to go ahead and replace the valvetrain at the same time to avoid any headaches. it is also easier/quicker to do both installs at once.

What would you be replacing then?

valves, valve-springs and retainers

If you have the extra cash put it into toda racing parts, they're really good pieces.
