Im in the market for a cam for my d16a6 daily driver and wanted to know what you guys have in your d16a6's?? Im thinking stage 1 or 2, something that I can still keep my stock valve springs in. Prices and hp would be much aprichiated. THANX

 

Go to exospeed.com they have quite a few cams for real good prices.

heres the list...prices range from $65 (delta) to $330 (crane), everything else seems to hver around $200.

as far as hp...it depends on what your looking for. high rpm hp and no bottom end or a little less hp and some torque down low. its all a compromise!

 

delta cams can regind cams for ya for like under $100

 

Me and 4thGSi running Cranes

 

how are those working out for u? HP and $$$ wise

 

Well, I did notice a *decent* improvement. But that's still with the stock and UNTUNED cam gear and ****. Once I get the key for the gear from skunk2 , I will be able to adjust it to my likings and get the REAL use of the cam. But I did notcie an improvement over stock untuned. So, it's a good cam, just got to complete it with a cam gear

Don't you mean cam

 

grind #26842 from Gude I would say is the best for a daily driver. How does 14.82@93mph sound on a car with a stock t/b, i/m, clutch, and ecu? My ONLY mods were i/h/e/cam! And this was a 89 CRX Si with over 200,000 miles on the original motor (not rebuilt either!) and tranny. Only weight reduction was removal of passenger seat, spare tire and rear compartment. This was of course with street tires.

 

i went on http://www.gude.com and they didnt have the #26842 cam on there??? Do they not make it any more???

 

and what about the crane stage 1??

 

The best cam for D16a6 has to be WEB cams grind #115-273. I had it in my CRX with i/e/h/ecu and ran 15.00 at 90mph at 5000ft elevation in fallon NV. I'm sure at sea level, it would have been low 14's. The Web cam had pretty good idle and tremendous top end power to past 8000 rpms. I think it was about $200.

 

26824 is NOT on the website. Gude only made like 3 copies of that grind, and I have one of them (he had one in his own personal car). You have to call him and ask him to make it for you.

djsgtrip, thats pretty good for the elevation. Just curious if you were running a stock clutch? how about a stock t/body? how about a stock intake mani? were you running street tires? how much does your car weigh with you in it?
