Cam talk
I wanted to start a thread about aftermarket cams.
What you have used and what you liked about them.
The only two that I have heard of is typefour and delta are there more.
What cam have you used with a turbo and what rpms was your peak boost.
The reason I am checking is, this spring or summer I need to build a new idi and want to build it to get it's peak torque at a low rpm, generally peak torque and peak boost runs together.
What has been your experience.

Delta 206-2 cam grind.
stocker is something like:
Int: .253lobe lift/185duration @ 50
Exh: .253lobe lift/185duration @ 50
new cam is:
Int: .261lobe lift /185 duration @ 50
Exh: .255lobe lift/197 duration @ 50
also much quicker ramp rates and slightly less valve overlap (now sure how much, and cams are not my forte')

What rpm do you get your peak manifold pressure at. Did they give you any rpm specs with it,as in where the best power range is at.
I want to go bassackwards than most people, as in less rpm's.

Typefour I'm pretty sure the one you have will be closer to what I want as it is for lower rpm, and I have no use for the high end, with what I want.
I figure most aftermarket cams are going to be the other way.
You do have a turbo on yours don't you, where is your peak boost.

I have not found any cams, except stock other than the 2 mentioned on here. I did find another 6.9/7.3 idi information/timeline page:
