Anybody have experience with either JUN 3 cams or Skunk2 stage 3 cams? They would be going into an b16a head on a b20 block...compression would be around 12:1 as well.High end is a big factor in what im looking for (7000+rpms). Its a daily driver so input on how the idle/emissions would be is also a factor too. Suggestions welcomed as well:smile: .

you'll deff need springs and retainers also you'll need something that would bump up your redline to get more use out of them, idle with stage 3 would be kinda high so....its gonna cost a pretty penny....make sure your sure you want that

Thanks for the reply. I forgot about the springs/retainers needing to be replaced with stronger ones. I was somewhat confused when you said "you'll need something that would bump up your redline". Do you mean an ECU with a set higher redline?:redface: Thanks.

Yes a reprogrammed ECU will get you a higher redline but the engine you describe is not a suggested street engine. The cams alone are rated for race only. It sounds like a high compression dream but I would not feel comfortable daily driving for two reasons.......
1. I would probably kill myself just enjoying it daily
2. Something will break or wear in the stop and go of daily driving

yeah for a street set up you should do stage 2 cames, dual springs, the titanium retainers, and bump c/r down to at least 11:1. a built race engine won't last long if its daily driven.

Thanks for the advice. I just wanted your opinions before I actually started ordering parts. Having a c/r of 12:1 on 93 octane require ignition timing of some sort? I would probably keep it lower just to be safe but im curious.Thanks.

Skunk2 stage 2 or 3 Cams will definitely make more power that the Jun 3's, that is from my personal experiences.
Upgraded Valve springs are a must.
