Default Skunk2 vs Buddy Club

All right so im planning out and engine swap and i was wondering which camshafts would be better Skunk2 stage 2 or buddy club. I heard buddy club doesnt make good cam gears but i havent heard anything about the cam shafts. I was also wondering if skunk would be a good brand to go with for trottle body, valves, retainers and springs. I was thinking of maybe keeping it all the same brand since they probably test for reliability and performance with their own stuff. thank in advance for the advice.

If you've got $7,000, get a full Spoon build and a turbo kit.

Spoon > Skunk2 by a looooong shot.

I think you'd need more that $7,000 for a spoon motor man....

Nope. Only around $5,000 average for a build (depending on whether or not they replace the internals). Much much cheaper if you order from Japan.
