Default Best all motor SOHC non-vtec cam???

I just want some opinions and experiences on who makes the most powerful D16 non-vtec cam. My setup is a moderate build-up : Ported and Polished Head, ECU, I, E, H, running 10.8:1 compression. They're are so many companies that makes or grinds D16a6 performance cams, and NON of them show any realistic dynos or anything. Any info, good or bad would be appreciated. I don't care about emissions or daily-drivability. Just want to know what makes the MOST hp in the 5000+ rpm range. Thanks for looking.

crane or web. regrinds are fine but the base circle is ground away which speeds up the rocker arms a whole bunch which will lead to premature valvetrain failure sometime down the road.

i have a delta 272 and i ran 15.48 at 88 with only header, chip and intake. i also had a terrible clutch, tranny and 13" pizza cutters. i have a pretty rough idle and terrible low end power but after 4500 rpm's it pulls good to 7500 +. there really cheap and if you don't like it you can't bitch because you only spent around 65 bucks. heres there web site http://www.deltacam.com . with this same cam i ran 14.7 at 97 on a 40 shot of nos with terrible tire burning launches on them skinny 13"s

i personally prefer the cranes since they are the only cams that arent regrounded stock cams. but i also tried jg and delta and the jg 1001 were great but the delta...im not sure what happened with that one but i lost .3 in the quarter.
