Skunk2 Pro Stage 1+ Camshafts – B-Series VTEC
Unlock up to 15–20 additional horsepower with Skunk2’s Pro Series Stage 1+ Camshafts — high-lift, race-proven profiles engineered for Honda B16, B17, and B18C VTEC engines. Designed for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged setups, these camshafts optimize midrange and top-end power while maintaining seamless VTEC crossover and valvetrain stability all the way to 9,000 RPM.
Manufactured from newly revised chill-cast billet camshaft blanks, Skunk2’s Pro Series Cams are CNC-ground to exacting tolerances and feature patent-pending AMAX and Fast Ramp lobe profiles for unmatched response and efficiency. These technologies — borrowed from Formula One development — maximize area under the lift curve, producing greater airflow, higher cylinder pressure, and more torque without sacrificing reliability.
Each camshaft undergoes extensive computer simulation, dyno validation, and real-world testing to ensure superior performance and consistency. Backed by decades of championship-winning motorsport experience, Skunk2 Pro Stage 1+ Camshafts deliver the perfect balance between daily drivability and race-level power.
