Last delta cam post ever!!

[DjSpeedy]

I just spoke directly to delta cams this morning. For anyone who is worried that there cams will break valves or screw things up in general I was told by the person this morning that it will work with all stock components and that’s what makes them awesome.

260 regrind: The 260 is best for people looking to have a relatively stock setup. No need to upgrade fuel or really anything. Valves will need to be adjusted after install. Fuel economy will remain mostly the same. 10-15% power increase is to be expected, more if you have the right bolt ons.

272 regrind: More aggressive, will make your idle a little funny. Not the best for gas mileage, but perfect for those running a turbo setup or an all motor buildup. Expect anywhere from 15-20% power increase.

The cost for either will be about 94 dollars including shipping back to you. Shipping there is not included. It will take a total of about 2 weeks with shipping from the time you send it out until you get it back. It does not matter what cam you send them but it cannot be from vtec motors. It most be an a1, a4, a6 cam. I am sure it is different for those running h22's.

Only reason I decided to post this is because I was the biggest skeptic out there but now I will be sending a cam to them for a 260 regrind.

Hope this helps convince everyone that it is worth it.

so were can people like me that have a vtec cam get a 272 for that price?

[DjSpeedy]

Call them up and see what they say I am sure they can still do something for you. Its just they dont want you pulling a vtec cam and trying to put it in a non vtec motor.

Good stuff man...

The Delta 272 regrind is more cam than most people on here need. You have to have more mods then just intake, header, exhaust to take advantage of this camshaft as I have it and have experienced it. It will change your idle, seems to like 900-1000 rpm for an idle (smooths out then, otherwise it feels like the engine will die out any lower than that).

In other words, I personally would suggest a 260 grind for those with just intake, header and exhaust. If you have more mods, then perhaps the 272 grind is for you. I also would suggest a chipped ECU for it as well, fuel psi regulator, fuel psi gauge and adjustable cam gear minimal.

Delta does not do vtac grinds im sorry guys. They might make you a non vtac cam for your h22a, you would have to ask

and all say it again do not get the 272 regrind if you plab to turbocharge you sohc. You will lack cam adjustments to utilize your turbo.

This makes absolutely no sense. The 272 is perfect for BOTH all motor and turbo setups? I mean I have heard of people running them on turbo setups, but I would assume it was a mild enough cam to not have a lot of overlap, but cisco says it's an agressive cam... Anyone care to explain this hypocricy?

[DjSpeedy]

No hypocracy. If you build your motor all the way top to bottom than yeah a 272 will be a good idea. If you have a turbo I would assume (we know what happens when one assumes) That the person with the turbo would also have done it right and built up their motors to handle boost. Hence a 272 would be better for them as well. IF you are running a mostly stock or minor bolt on setup than a 260 will be awesome and the power should be sick as well.

No need to make this more diffucult than it is:

260 good for most with daily drivers wanting a little more "pep"

272 good for the select few who truly build up everything the right way

[92ex]

I understand, but allmotor cams have overlap, and a good bit of it, turbo cams have barely any overlap, i mean the cam specs are completely different with the 2. I'll find you examples of every companys allmotor cam vs. turbo cam

[92ex]

Crower h23 turbo cam- Intake 245/440 Exhaust 245/440
Crower h23 Allmotor cam- Intake 255/451 Exhaust 255/451

[92ex]

I'm just saying that the cam styles are different, but if it is a good cam for turbo, I might use it and save the $420 for crower h23 cams

[DjSpeedy]

Save your money. Your best bet is to call tell them what setup you are running and see what they say. Also if you didn't upgrade the valvetrain than the crower will likely break stuff. The reason you dont need to upgrade with delta is
a: they dont put as much loft on the cam as some other companies do
b: it is still the same metal, not some super hard steel that will bitchslap your valves and make them cry to their momma.

Not that the other stuff is bad, but for most people the delta setup is going to be the best bet. Put a set in your h23, if you dont like then sell them off you are going to get your money back for them anyway. There is a reason their cams are in super high demand and I would say it is because they are the most compatable with every day drivers.

Anyone else think this should be stickied?
