The camshaft is often referred to as the "brain" of the engine. Choosing the correct camshaft for a specific application can be one of the most difficult parts of an engine build. It's also one area where no amount of "catalog research," or "bench racing" can begin to substitute for actual experience running many different cam profiles in specific types of engine combinations in "real life." By real life, we mean on the dyno AND the race track. Camshaft, lifters, pushrods, and valvesprings- everything in the valve train system is part of a complex science of mechanical engineering. Over the years, we've run cams from virtually all of the major cam manufacturers. We have several in house test engines we've used as mules over the years to test a multitude of different parts. We sat down and reviewed and analyzed many of the engines we've built, and found that the best cams not only made more power overall, they were much more streetable and drivable as well. These lobes would idle smoother and have more vacuum than other manufacturers' cams would, even when they had ten degrees more duration and twenty or thirty thousandths more lift! We decided to carry the best of what we've used ourselves. You'll find several grinds here, for both flat tappet and hydraulic roller, (all normally kept on the shelf and ready to ship the same day.) Feel free to give us a call and we'll help select the right cam for your application. |
