Gain an extra 10-15 hp and retain your factory idle and low-speed emissions with Skunk2’s Tuner Series Stage 1 Camshafts, our introductory line of high-performance camshafts for Honda’s B16/ B17/ B18 VTEC engines.
🔧 What Skunk2 Stage 1 B Series Camshaft Delivers
Compared to stock cams:
-
Moderate lift increase
-
Optimized duration
-
Smoother VTEC transition
-
Broader usable powerband
Designed to maintain strong street manners while improving airflow.
Tuner Series Stage 1 Camshafts are designed to optimize horsepower and torque on mildly modified engines. As a result, VTEC crossover is dramatic, allowing for that classic primary-to-secondary surge. What’s more, Tuner Series Stage 1 Camshafts are also CARB-approved and remain the only high-performance, B-series camshafts legal for road use. No other line of high-performance camshafts even comes close to Skunk2’s Tuner Series.
🏁 Ideal Supporting Mods
To unlock full potential:
✔ Performance header
✔ High-flow intake manifold
✔ Adjustable cam gears
✔ ECU tuning (Hondata / chipped ECU)
✔ Upgraded valve springs (recommended but not extreme)
You don’t need a full race valvetrain — but you do need a tune.
First introduced in 1999, Tuner Series Camshafts are manufactured from the same proprietary, high-quality cores as Skunk2’s more aggressive Pro Series Camshafts, are CNC ground, and feature unique profiles and lobe shapes that emphasize an exceptional idle and low emissions. Skunk2 camshafts deliver unparalleled power as a result of continual, extensive development and testing. By utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques and the latest computerized simulation and modeling equipment, Skunk2 camshafts are able to deliver maximum power across the entire powerband.
⚙ Expected Gains (Properly Tuned)
-
Stronger midrange pull
-
Noticeable VTEC engagement
-
Improved throttle response
-
Better high-RPM breathing
Perfect for street-driven NA builds aiming for reliable, usable gains.
Skunk2 designs and tests all of its camshafts in-house to ensure the highest quality and performance. Each camshaft is manufactured of newly revised chill-cast, billet camshaft blanks that have increased torsional strength, improved durability characteristics, and reduced frictional effects. All Skunk2 camshafts are ground to exact specifications using state-of-the-art CNC cam grinding machines equipped with cubic-boron grinding wheels and feature hardened, wear-resistant lobes and surfaces. Skunk2 camshafts designs are the direct result of our years of drag racing and road racing efforts. In addition to each Skunk2 project car and race vehicle, the world’s top road racing and drag racing teams have relied on Skunk2 camshafts for years.
