The cam i posted makes a big difference on a z6. I have never used a d15b cam so i dont know how much better it is but i have seen a comp cam in action. so i guess your not wrong.

anyway.... I`ve HEARD good stories with the crower stage2 turbo cam...
and as of the d15b cam, just by looking at it you can tell there are a lot more duration then the z6/y8 cams and it does feel peppier then the z6s at mid range . Not sure about over lap and and those little info tho..

Alright, I sent my cam to delta, they told me they used to not be able to regrind v-tec cams but they got some new machines or tools or some ---- and they can do it now. they quoted me $160 for a price, I thought that was quite steep but w/e I just sent it out anyway.

the d15b cam is different its obvious when you look at the lobes. Now alot of people are selling z6 cams has d15b hence why alot of rumors are ------ing that they are the same
Delta has always done a good job on the stuff they do but it is a regrind its only able to have so much material removed before you start having some major issues with cam wear etc.
If you want real large gains crower and get a billet

I'm not looking for huge gains, the head is stock and I dont want to spend more money on springs/retainers. from what I understand they dont just grind material off, they also add it? thats what they're website made it sound like Anyway it should be there any day and I need to decide what kind of grind to use?
I told him it was for boost and he reccomended a grind, I'll prolly go with what he recomends the 272/252 sound right? I'm not very knowledgable with it i've looked at some specs on aftermarket cams but for the money this seems like the way to go for now.

No they dont add material thats known has a hard weld which is very very expensive because its no easy to get right. Web charges 450+ for this work
Your getting a basic regrind itll work and its nothing special
