Default D16Y7 camshaft

What would be good profile specs for ultimate low end power on a 99 DX camshaft?
That's the D16Y7. I haven't been able to find anyone that makes such a cam. So, I guess I'll have to have one custom ground. Also, odd question, but do any other model year cams work in this engine?

You can change it to the CRX Si cam which is bigger than the one u currently have. A guy just did a few weeks ago here in H-T. I'll try finding the post.

nope

96-00 D16Y7 is its own design. NOTHING from ANY OTHER head will fit that motor. Custom is the only way

Ya, I tried gude, but the only one they make doesn't start making power untill 3800
Since I have an auto tranny that's actually too high in my power band. I also called them and a custom grind would be $500 plus the $250 core charge. And I wanted to keep my stock cam since I might go FI in the distant future...
Thanks though.... Guess I have no other option.... FI NOW.
