First off , I have only a WS2 exhaust , and soon an AEM intake. Would a cam be a waste of money? What kind of increase would I be looking at for a mild cam? And what brands should I check? I've looked at a few , but I seem to like the Skunk2 stuff. Or should I just stop drinking while I'm looking on the net?

 

I agree with the not drinking while surfing the web but I wouldn't expect any drastic changes in power with just a cam on a single slam. If your looking to make big power you should look into a turbo set up or something!

 

Contact Exospeed racing - they have some bad-*** SOHC upgrades, including head packages and cam upgrades.

Damn those are pretty sick times, more specs on the hatch. What model/year? and also full interior or not?

i dont what you are talking about, they did a test where they dropped the cam into an I/H/E d16z6 and made 14hp and 9 ft-lbs of torque, lets not post bullshit

 

mild cam. um, without the specs and numbers, your question is too vague so heres a vague answer.
you'll get a mild increase in power. we dont do these kind of threads.

 

I used to run a Skunk2 cam in my car...it helped give the car more top end and mid-range. I was told if I ran it with upgraded springs that I would have made more power to about 7800 roughly. Here is my dyno chart:

Mods:
I/H/E
Test Pipe
RedZone Performance Basemap (No actual tuning)



I'm sellin the cam by the way if you are interested...PM me.

 

Those numbers are pretty impressive for a D16Z6 with bolt-ons and a cam. Sure gives me hope for the future, did you ever had a chance to track your car with that specific set-up? Off topic what are stock B16's pumping at the wheels? Not trying to start a b vs. d war... please don't start.

nice setup nick. Too bad i never got to race you when you were NA =P

I run a Crower stage 3 (63443Z) cam and I love it. I use smash on s2000 on the streets ( i know) all time when i was running this cam.

I ran a best of 15.6 w/ full interior on Nitto 555R's. Had no traction though...too much moisture on the track. I was told I could do a lot better...and I know I could. On the street...I took out a GSR swaped EK coupe, B16 EF, a B20 vtec Integ, and a GSR w/ I/H/E/IM, and skunk2 chip.

Oh yeah...and my car was an EX coupe (2500lbs roughly w/ me in it)...so if that same setup was in a DX coupe, or even a light hatch...it would really move.

Too bad you didn't get to run the car period. Car is dead now...car accident. RIP SOHC Ninja...new project to come hopefully...maybe.

 

A buddy of mine put a zex 59300 cam in his z6 swap with i/h no exhaust and ran 15.1xx.. I drove the car and did felt alittle better lowend to mid but nothing different highend..

ill only believe that when i see a slip, but if its true, thats a freak motor and a half, did he have slicks, no intake upgrade or intake manifold, did he have an upgraded suspension, 13's would be crazy for that set-up even in a cx, i am sorry but i need a slip
