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.
