Edelbrock Camshaft Products
Performer-Plus hydraulic-lifter camshafts are designed
especially for lightly modified engines. These camshafts are especially effective
with stock and stock type 360 degree intake manifolds. The output from this cam tends to
drop off after 5,500 RPM. Perfect for everyday, non-competition driving these
camshafts will provide enough vacuum to operate power brakes. Keep the oil
clean and these cams will last the life of your engine. The power characteristics
are excellent when used for heavier loads such as pickups, vans, recreational vehicles and
other high torque applications.
Performer RPM hydraulic lifter camshafts are for more exotic
engines. Power begins at 1,500 RPM, which is higher than idle. The output from
this cam tends to drop off after 6,500 RPM. A top end The finished engine and car
combination for this type cam would include high stall speed torque converter for
automatic engines, high compression pistons, headers, improved intake manifolds, larger
carburetor and higher numeric ratio rear end gears. Vacuum is reduced but will
provide marginal use of power brakes.
Performer RPM Hydraulic Roller Cam Hydraulic Roller Lifter
cams offer increased lift and increased lift rates. Edelbrock hydraulic lifter cams
can be used with factory lifters. The reduction of operating friction reduces engine
heat, increases fuel mileage and increases engine output directly. Hydraulic roller
lifter camshafts have all the advantages of standard hydraulic lifters with increased
power and reduced heat.
Torker-Plus These camshafts are designed for high RPM operation.
Maximum power is optimal. The cam is optimized for use with 180 degree intake
manifolds like the Edelbrock Torker. Vacuum is inadequate for accessories. Low
end torque is minimal. This cam is recommended only for competition applications.
