Does delta 272 cam work with EX valvesprings?

[fast93accord]

I had some issues with KMS valvesprings that ill get into later....
I ran my delta 272 with f22a1 valvesprings without a problem to 6800rpm. Does anyone here run this cam with f22a6 valvesprings?
Now if i'm correct when i talked to a pro race "biso" with his all Motor 400hp F22a1 block, he told me he was using stock F22a1 valvesprings to 9000rpm. I want to rev my new motor out to atleast 7000....so i dont think thats a problem. Biso told me he runs an exospeed camshaft though...

Rocket says D16 springs are good until easily 8-9k...

and they are softer than F22 springs...

I ran mine to 7k pretty regularly and they were all still square when I pulled everything apart...

The 272 only has like 10.5mm of lift...

Are A6 springs supposedly stiffer or what? Do they carry a different part # than A1 & A4 springs...??? If the urban legend of the mysterious A6 cam is true... then A6 springs might give you a teeny tiny margin of comfort...

Is the problem with the KMS springs the one you had before? or this a new thing? The replacements they sent didn't work?

From what I know, the 272 does work with EX valvesprings. A couple people on here are running 272's with their stock valves. Although, it is recommended to upgrade, it is not completely necessary unless you plan on revving much higher than normal is what I have understood. I am running the 260 regrind on my f22a6 springs, but I did adjust them when I installed, most people don't do that.

You adjusted your springs? Or did you adjust your valve lash?

Not trying to be an ass, but if you can adjust the springs I've never heard of it.

[Nycxeracer]

You adjust installed height of valve springs with hardened shims.

That's exactly what you do. I didn't do it myself though, I had the help of another member to adjust, it was my first time, I recommend doing the same if you are not entirely sure.

Not trying to be an ass, but you're 19 years old, there's probably lots of things you haven't heard of.

that is rude, and don't start whoring this thread just to flame each other. edit that before he sees it micks

i have a 272 on stock f22a1 springs, just adjusted the valvle lash, and she runs good, now i just need to adjust the timing a little! but i will when the turbo gets put on! oh yeah and after the engine is rebuilt totally!

If you were sorry you wouldn't say it. You can't speak for everyone else, either.

SteveB is correct, I haven't heard of everything, that's why I made it VERY clear that I could be wrong.

Micks, I couldn't care less what you think, as the opinion of an idiot doesn't matter to me. There's no reason to whore up this post with what could have been done through PM, or through another one of your useless threads. I apologize to the threadstarter for whoring this thread, I'll probably delete the post later.

Alright, I can accept that I was ignorant. What would putting washers in do besides shortening spring travel?

I guess I just don't understand the concept. Care to explain?

[Bluejayde]

I'm still confused, why would you cut the valves or the seats? They work fine with the cam in stock form, why mess with it? Sounds like a ghetto way to do things.
