    my recommendation:

    dont buy a skunk2 manifold, and ditch those cams for type s

    the problem with g22's is even thought they take 8k just fine, anything more will kill it sooner, where a h22 hitting 8.5k will be like a mosquito bite

    now because of the big stroke, it makes most of its power before 7.2k

    through experience i've found that crower cams start making power at 6k all the way up to 9k, a "high" rpm cam

    the skunk2 manifold, is a top end manifold only
    look at it as a beer funnel

    stock manifold is a medium funnel with a medium hose 3 feet long
    skunk 2 is a medium funnel with a 3" hose thats 6 feet long
    stock gutted is bigger funnel with medium hose 3 feet long

    now imagine trying to chug beer through a 3" hose
    a perfect beer funnel is a decent size funnel with a medium hose

          Ive yet to see a shelf H series crower cam make power to 9k. My crower3s in my hatch barely went past 8000 with the cams dialed in.
          I wouldn't say the stroke can't handle over 8000, it just has to be built well. The harmonics get pretty serious up there and everything from bearing clearance, piston2wall and rotating assembly balancing become a large factor.

            they way i look at it is, the h22 head on stock cams peaks right around 6.5k and with the 95mm this is an advantage on low end, nice tq curve more throttle response etc. but its a dissadvantage because of how big it is, this can be altered with the rotating assy being balanced, having the correct clearences for everything etc.
            but in reality if you want power past 7k + maybe all the way up to 9k its easier keeping the stock stroke.
            a set of custom cams, balancing, lighter pistons and rods and extra compression will accomplish this

            im a great suporter of the g22, my setup consists of h23 cams 70mmtb gutted manifold 345cc injectors, kms titanium back cut valves and 3angled

              the only weak link on this combo is how you put it together
              being that most aftermarket support for the head is meant for the 90mm stroke high rpm, aftermarket cams will in reality increase your peak power higher in the rpm curve

              a set of stock cams will work but you will soon realize it will hold your engine back

              always remember what you're building the engine for, "you cant make power without sacrificing torque and viceversa" (there is a lot behind that)

                          Those are 90-91 JDM headlights with projectors retrofitted in. I think they are TSX projectors.
