i dont think zex makes a cam for the a6...they have z6, y8, bseries & sr20de

anyways https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=427814 there is the link to all the cams avaliable for the d16a6. (at least all that i know of).

i personally have the delta 260 profile.

How much gain are you guy getting with these cam swaps? In other words do you think it was worth the $$$. And how much did it cost for the cams? Did you have to change springs? What is the max lift stock spring will take?

We have several crazy SOHC cams available.
4 stages for the A6.
HP gain on our SR909 stage 2 is average 35HP to the wheel gain with our headwork and bolt ons.

What headwork did you have done? Any mill work on the heads? Did you do with stock valves? What would be the best cam for a d16a6 with E/H/I/50 shot?

Our headworks usually consists of port/polish the head, upgrade valvetrain, Exospeed cam, stock sized valves(stock or aftermarket), We never mill our heads unless the customer requests it.
Best cam for your application from our list will be the SR909. the stage 2 allmotor cam.

I would be interested in getting one of them next week. Let me know how much and I will get it out to you. Also I can't have any downtime so I would need to keep my cam where it is untill it comes in. And will it work with the stock valve train?

I dont have any experience with the Exospeed a6 cams but ive heard nothing but good things about their LS cams. Thats why i just ordered a set of ls909's Let me tell you....they are awesome with customer service. They always replied to my emails VERY quickly and they actually wrote a paragraph of stuff answering ALL of my questions. Not like most other places ive dealt with that will write you back a 2 sentence reply that dances around the question. And i dont know about you guys, but that says alot to me. I hope that i will get my cams soon because i cant wait to see how they pull. When i get them ill tell you how good the quality is and how hard they pull. Overall id give them on customer service and hopefully that much on product quality.

so mr exospeed dude, i love your website, lots of sweet stuff, but would the d16 cam work well with a multi-point swapped d15a1 (i think thats the code, its a 91 civic standard block)?.....the head castings are the same.....so i know it would fit, but does anybody have any experience with this?

This guy is the man. I have no personal experience, but when you put out a good product and build a good rep for it and yourself like he has, you earn from me. If I ever buy cams for my CRX, this is where they'll be coming from.
