I have a d16y8 with i/h/e. which cam would any one suggest i get. the zex, crane or maybe a dif. brand?it also has 130000miles and is a auto. im looking for street not race. Also ive never done any mods be4 so how much would it cost to get installed? THANKS

 

well what are you going to do with this car? what power gains to you want? and try searching you might get what you want exactly.

 

my opinion, you should just leave it like that i/h/e.
if you want power, just go supercharger.. very good acceleration, and its very reliable. its very easy to intall and can be ran with your stock ecu.

 

I got a crower cam turbo cam id sell ya cheap if your looking into boost for the future.

 

I've wondered that too. I have a Y8 MT in my 98 coupe. What about a cam and an SC? People always holler turbo, but I like the idea of the SC.

 

zex 105300

 

Just be careful, because price can jump fast on ya. Some cams require new valve springs and retainers.......hey at least u can save some money on cams, cuz ya only need 1. I love my single slammer.

 

Mann..

Supercharger sound so.... GM..

I dunno anything about cams tho. But I guess a supercharger isn't a bad investment since it's more or less a simple bolt-on. like the things you have now..

my turbo was bolt on too . But the zex 105300 doesnt require springs/retainers and it is pretty much tuned at 0* of cam timing so an adjustable cam gear isnt needed either. I have the 59300 and love it (the d16z6 equivalent), worked well NA and even better with boost

 

It sounds like ZEX has inexpensive cams for good hp returns. I looked at the stage 2 cam, and wasn't sure if you need springs and retainers or not. I'd like to check one out, and then hit up a Jackson racing SC. I think they just dropped the prices on them too. Probably from all the turbonetics and Edelbrock turbo kits coming out. I like the idea that it is pretty much a bolt on, and that they have very broad power bands.I use the low end more often driving around town anyways. Thanks for the advice, sorry for jacking the thread.

 

zex cams DO NOT need springs/retainers

 

i dont want to boost i dont have money for that. ive already looked at the dif. cams i just dont really know which one would be the best for my car, our if a cam is really what i need. i just want a good hp increase but not to lose too much torque. how much would it cost to get installed at a shop do you think? thanks

 

who said you would lose torque? the zex cam gained 14 hp and 9 ft-lbs on a stock d16z6...
