Description

The Camshafts feature four different lobe patterns with one intake and exhaust design for outboard runners, and another intake and exhaust design for the inboard runners. While the four inboard cylinders are all the same grinds, the outboard exhaust openings are two degrees earlier, with outboard intake closings coming two degrees later. This is the first ever use of Technology in street vehicles to balance air/fuel ratio per cylinder and can net you a possible 1000+ RPM over other hydraulic Rollers and anywhere from 5-20+ horsepower peak to peak, depending on cylinder head flow.The 4-Pattern hydraulic Roller cams are CNC-Machined from Steel billet cores with cast iron distributor drive Gears. The cams also feature a tight lobe separation for both excellent performance and a throaty sound. 1: Cams for '55-'57 engines can be custom ordered. 2: The '87+ Chevy Small Block received provisions for Roller lifters. Most '87 - '93 GM cars came with Roller lifters, but most '87 - '95 trucks came with flat tappet lifters in Roller lifter style blocks. If your block has '87+ OEM-style Roller Cam provisions but does not have Roller components fitted, COMP Hydraulic Roller Lifter Install Kit for '91-'02 Blocks can be purchased. As well as a '87+ OE-Style COMP Hydraulic Roller Cam.
