Dyno Gains! Do Skunk2 Cam Gears Make a Difference?

The long awaited Dyno video is here! Lets find out how much power this E85 LSV makes with a small addition: Skunk2 Adjustable Cam Gears.
Welcome back! After a long hiatus, I'm finally able to bring more content to the channel. It's been a busy few months since this video was first recorded, but I had a lot of fun during the editing process and hope you enjoy the eye candy.
We are putting these gears to the test! Coupled with the Brian Crower Stage 2 camshafts and my mildly built LSVtec running on E85 (full build bio in an earlier video), I cruised on down to the legendary Erick's Racing Engines. Erick has always been my go-to for my Honda tuning needs and, as usual, he did not disappoint!
Big gains were had in this visit versus the last thanks to his excellent tuning skills. Anyway, check out the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Also, HUGE shoutout to Elay for letting me use his smooth track "Aurora" during the B-roll for this video. I reached out and he gave me the OK to feature it, so be sure to take a listen to the full track here on Soundcloud and give him a follow!

I like how honest you were about the horsepower gains

[@coryinmotion]

No reason to blow smoke! Haha. I think it’s good to let people know the reality. Still good gains though!

Not bad 4or5 hp just from adjusting cams from 197 to 213

[@Skunk2Racing]

Solid video!

[@grownmangamen8278]

Lmao the fun stuff is in the back between 1:10 - 1:14 and then the rest of the video 😆

😂😂

[@BodVar_Sul]

Nice 🤙

[@aodev]

Whoa bro! that valve cover was not the same valve cover that was on the car originally.... so uh fake news! lol nice job man vid came out great!

[@coryinmotion]

Haha yeah I had to swap it for a cut valve cover that allowed access to the cam gears for adjustment. Magic tricks!

[@peterbryant3584]

Not bad nice content

Thanks for watching!

What's the adjustment to make 213

[@coryinmotion]

So the first dyno was from right after the engine build and was in its break-in period. Its been a few thousand miles now and its nice and broken in, so that added a couple ponies in itself. I also swapped from 550cc Evo IX injectors to new Grams Performance Injectors, in addition to getting the cam gears adjusted. I think most of the power came from post-break in and retune though. Plus, Erick said he had a few new tricks to make better power on this setup that he employed.

What degree are the cams set at?

[@coryinmotion]

Hey Mike! I will have to check for you. It's hard to tell with the current valve cover setup. However, note that your tuner will have to make adjustments during tuning to get the most power and there's no set number to gain performance. Other issues to factor in are engine quench, which can be very problematic for degreeing cams if your engine is running very high compression pistons. Usually its a good idea to clay the compression chamber to see exact clearances.

You need to itb + cam have more time to opening the valves and very good reprog ecu and more advance ignition timing and you get extremely hp of you engine

[@coryinmotion]

Thanks! I do have ITBs already- not ready to put them on just yet. Soon though!
