Check out the sticky at the top of the page, stage 1 hot cam is good for the low end, if you built the engine a bit stage 2 would be better for the mid to top end

A stage 2 cam is only for a worked engine, you would benefit most from a stage 1 if your engines stock or a sparks cam which is a cross between a stage 1 and 2 hotcam.

I just bought the stage 2. What do you mean when you say worked engine( i understand modded but what mods are you referring to)?

Essentially high compression piston and bigger bore. If you are on stock bore and stock c/r you will probably(surely) overkill your motor and loose compression with a stg 2.
