would the skunk2 turbo camshafts work on getting good gains with a N/A engine with a proper tune and bolt ons or would it not help at all. im planning on supercharging my engine next year.

well they wont make as much as n/a cams. Honestly i would just do stage 1 cams. Its a bitch to change the valvetrain with the head on the car. might as well swap an a2 head

For the price of Skunk2 stg 1 cams you could buy my Brian Crower stg 3 cams, timing chain, and chain guide. See my post in the parts section.

Turbo Cams will most likely LOSE power NA since they have smaller profiles than stock. I would suggest Stage 1s as you can just drop them in without having to upgrade your valvetrain. You will definitely need K-Pro to make the most out of them though. And when you do add a JRSC all you would need to do is retune it. We are selling all our Skunk2 K20A3 camshafts for $250 Shipped on our eBay site as we speak.

i have skunk2 turbo cams and the profile is not smaller than stock. measured my shelf, installed the cams n/a and never got a tune. car ran fine and fuel mixtures were reading fine. (reading a wideband) now as far as ingntion tuning it was off but the car did feel a little better but nothing to to brag about. now i am boosted with them cams, stock valvetrain running a revhard turbo kit at 7psi making 261whp and 227wtq on a k20a3. but ya for the money i would go with something more hardcore. i got mine for really cheap new and needed cams bad because my exhaust lobe on the stock cam was pitting.
