Product type
A performance camshaft is a precision-engineered component designed to optimize the timing and duration of valve openings and closings in an internal combustion engine. Typically made from high-grade steel or cast iron, performance camshafts are designed to enhance engine efficiency, power output, and overall performance. They are often used in modified or high-performance vehicles where improved acceleration and horsepower are desired.
| Material | High-grade steel or cast iron |
| Lift range | 0.400 to 0.700 inches |
| Duration range | 200 to 300 degrees |
| Lobe separation angle | 104 to 114 degrees |
| Compatibility | Various engine types including V8, inline, and turbocharged engines |
When selecting a performance camshaft, consider the specific engine type and intended use, as different cam profiles can significantly affect performance characteristics. Buyers should specify the desired lift, duration, and lobe separation angle, as well as any compatibility requirements with existing engine components. Additionally, inquire about any necessary modifications to the engine or drivetrain and ensure that the camshaft meets any relevant performance standards.
