    LIFT - 0.434
    DURATION - 242

    Exhaust
    LIFT - 0.434
    DURATION - 242

    Sounds like a mild grind to me. I've noticed that their's a difference between mild grinds from different source's. The question is which one is better, but how and why, thats the question.

    delta cam ?'s

    i want to get a cam regrind and i was thinking maby i should go with delta. They seem pretty cheap. Any body know what the exact prices of everybody is, i wasnt looking to spend more than like 150. And any idea of what ill be running 1/4 mile. my best right now is a 16.9 And how do i get ahold of anybody to get it going pretty quick. I have a core out of an 89 accord lxi head, but it was used on my carbed engine before i took it out, would that one work? Or do you guys think that the company i got the head from switched cams? its a complete rebuilt head.

    If you are looking to spend extra get a colt cam triflow grind about 150 or you can get a delta 272 for about 70 look around in the peformance section for more info. I don't kow what power increase the 272 is soposto give ut the triflow is around 10%

    i'm looking into this cam stuff because i'm deciding what cam i'm puttin in my dx hatch but if u go delta get the 272 its the best street profile they have colt cams is good to though i havn't heard anything bad about colt i dunno about power increase though for delta hopefully its good lol cuz i'm probably gonna get it i think its just easier i'm goin to college in august so i don't have tons of money to blow but its seems to me the question is for everyone, how much r u willing to spend?

    It really depends what you can live with... some of the more wilder grinds will have poor idle... or a powerband not suited for low end torque. But I don't know that much about the Delta grinds.

    right a 5-speed cam will work on an auto after its reground... just make sure you mention that you have and Auto... and tell him the stall speed is 1,500.
    Maybe higher if you have really good brakes.
