Which cam?
I am trying to find out as much as I can before I start in my spare a6 rebuild. I am considering getting an exospeed cam or a webcam cam. Which would anyone pick and why? I am leaning for the exospeed one becasue I have heard a lot of good things about them. I am going to put in zc pistons and get the head ported and polished if this helps anyone. Thanx for the insight, I just want to know as much as I can before I start the builup.

dirty91crx thanx for the info. WHere can I find out more about delta cams? Also the core isn't a problem because I have a complete d16 with tranny waiting to be rebuilt and I also have a spare d16 with a crack in the block but the head is good.

yeah I went there, but they don't have much information such as what cams they have and the prices also what h.p. increase you can expect. I guess I will just have to call them. Thanx for the help. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

CRxtc thanx for the link. Also if I do build up my engine with a new cam, zc pistons, p&p head, will I even be able to pass emissions? I don't knwo the laws so if i can't even use the motor after I build it thent here is no reason to even do all this research.

you can still pass emissions if your tuned right....most times with a cam you either run too lean or a lil rich....kinda like my turbo...lol IMO i say go turbo...we installed a home made turbo on a 89 crx si...it turned a 13.9 in stock trim with drag radials...and still very drivable....heh ever had traction problems? comes with turbos!

If I go home made turbo then I will still have to build up my motor wont I? Also roughly how much would a home made turbo set up run me? I am starting to think maybe turbo is the way to go...let me know a rough estimate because building up my a6 n/a wont be cheap either...Thanx for the insight.
