Never even heard of it.

I heard some guy with an d16a6 motor with I/H/E and that cam ran a low-to-mid 15 second run. I hear good things about it.

I have some info on the 262, but I haven't heard of the 272 either.

They have a 282 as well, but it requires a change in the valve train geometry.

 

i know that guy that runs the delta 262
thats y i am going delta 272 b/c i wanna run with him
but i didn't know if any had any dyno numbers or track times?

With a 272 you will have a slightly rough idle, and need some head work to take full advantage of the extra lift.

 

but i should get more hp with a stock head compared to the 262

but to get all the hp i will need to port the head a bit

does this sound right?

 

It will work with a stock head, but a mild port job will help immensely. A timing gear would also help out if you plan on tuning it properly as would a SAFC, or Hondata S-100.

 

what does a mild port job consist of?

how much does it run

 

well the cam has been order should be here by next friday i will let you guys know the results

 

if your staying with a stock bottom end...i would have gone with the 262. without a bump in compression the 272 will likely make you lose power.

but i havent seen any good dynos of these grinds anyways, im just thinking more in general...large lift/duration with low CR.

what are the specs of the 282 grind? never heard of it. let me know and ill add it to here...

i am bumping the compression up with a y8 head gasket and might get the head shaved a bit like .020

 

how much did the 272 cam cost and did u have to send your stock cam 1st or send it after u got the regrind??

 

they had a 272 already done so i am not going to have any down time

it cost 115 plus s/h with a 30 dollar core charge so it will be 85 bucks

 

yea sounds good, i hope to get the same deal. . . whats the link for this place so i can order.

 

deltacams

they only regrind non-vtec cams thats the only kicker

 

Nice, yea keep us posted on how it goes. I'm in the process of tryin to decide between the 260 and 272. Got boltons and i dont have the money for any port job at the moment. So if the cam responds well to the stock head and block I'll pick that one up.

 

delta cam cam in
and they gave me a free shirt

i am installing the cam today

my average times on the g-tech are 16.5s

i have had some 16.2s and some 16.7s

i hope the cam lands my in the 15's

we will see today

 

Sweet. Good luck with the install. Also, what's your setup?

 

well got the cam installed

i am happy so far

my other mods include - taking the air box off and no other mods

i pull solid low 16s now on the g-tech

like 16.1s and 16.2s

the cam pulls all the way to the rev limiter which is 7500 in my car

also i pull harder on my buddy's car that was able to stay with me until i put the cam in and when i mean stay with me i mean we were even

next to see how the cam acts with about 10.5 compression and a ported head

does anyone know how much i have to mill the head to get 10.5:1 compression?

 

Sounds good! How's the low end feel? Where do you start to feel the cam pull? I'm sure you'd be even more satisfied with a good header and good flowing exhaust. These cames feed off high compression and good airflow.
