cam q

hey i was just wondering what is the best cam in your opinions for the f22's, with a pretty close to stock, or stock motor?

[F22HB]

Delta cam's reground 272 is affordable and works fine with a stock engine. Best with an a6 or h23 intake manifold.

[weldingtodd88]

how does it sound?

[F22HB]

Cool? The idle is lopy depending on how my afc is adjusted. A rough idle gets old though, considering it makes you sound all badass and fast but there is nothing fast about an accord with a reground cam.

the bisi stg1 or stg2 will give you the best increase in hp/tq while retaining a smooth idle. A stg2 will absolutely require a tune, not sure about the stg1 but still highly suggest a tune with any aftermarket cam to get the best improvements/driveability.

the 272 with supporting mods has seen nice power increase per buck on the dyno imo...

Agreed, Bisimoto level 1 or 2 F22 cams are best for near stock motor. Get it tuned either way for max potential. They are $229, more expensive than Delta because they are engineered specically for this motor.

Delta cams do improve performance over stock, but are generic regrinds with no engineering for this specific motor. They are about $110-120.

You choose. All depends on your future plans to, the more serious you are about all-motor/nitrous mods in future, the better choice you should make for the cam, as it is a critical component in performance.

One thing that I've noticed to be sort of be a trend with the bisi vs. delta cams is: The delta 260 & bisi stg1, delta 272 & bisi stg2 seem to put out comparable HP numbers. However, the bisi cams put out MUCH better torque numbers and have a wider, more usable power band. This is due to, as HondaFan81 touched on, the R&D that bisimoto has put into his cams for the F22 specifically as compared to the generic profiles that Delta uses.

Ya, honestly it comes down to how much you wanna spend. Considering the fact that you bought an early 90's accord, I wouldn't expect the typical cb7 owner to step up to bisi anything with the more cost effective products on the market.

does anyone know of a tunner somewhere close to me? (richmond va)
