Overview
A small block Chevy owner who wants more mid-range pull gets a matched street cam package here, with performance lifters that have oiling ports. A double roller timing set and push rods complete the valvetrain parts.
Buying the cam and its supporting parts together removes the guesswork of matching them. The other side is scope: other items an engine rebuild needs, such as valve springs, are not named.
Who it's for
Classic Chevy owners wanting a stronger street engine with a lope and better pull will fit the kit. Builders of high-RPM race engines, or owners of different engine families, should choose another cam.
Pros and cons
- Cam, lifters and push rods together
- Double roller timing set included
- Oiling ports on the lifters
- Covers several small block sizes
- Valve springs not mentioned
- Break-in lube not listed
- Timing marks and torque unlisted
- Brand names vary across the listing
Performance notes
Duration and lift define when and how far the valves open, and these figures steer the power toward the stated mid-range band. The matched push rods hold rocker geometry correct for the added lift, while the timing chain drive turns the cam from the crank.
