    id be partial to beleiving the dual springs put so much tension on the chain that even the modified tensioner couldnt hold up. the skunk2's only downfall is the fasramp. it snaps the valve open so the engine can really breath, but like talon said in another post that the timing belt on older b-series absorbs the shock from it, the kseries have nothing to absorb it

    Same set up as you with Stage 1 cams sitting in the box.
    Looking forward to your numbers!

    yea but you cant use single spring retainers with stage 3 cams, it was a combination of the fast ramps on the cams and the chain just being stressed

    I currently have Skunk2 stage 1s in my car and planning on going JRSC-R with 3.8 pulley. Really interested in what you numbers are going to be, let us know!

    I was wondering about this? I have the street kit and plan on swapping the pulley. Do i need to do the map sensor relocation? I actually emailed jackson racing about this and they said i didn't have to do it. Can anybody give me some info on this please? thanks.

    Aww man. I think the Stg 2's would be safer than going with the vtec killer setup. Just grab a hybrid racing chain tensioner and a set of supertech valve spring and you should be good to go.

    I blew my A3 a fews ago and am in the process of getting a K24A1 which will get all my current mods along with the Crower Stg 2's and my AIS meth kit. Good luck to you! My motor died from a mechanical over rev :facepalm:
