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

Pros
  • Cam, lifters and push rods together
  • Double roller timing set included
  • Oiling ports on the lifters
  • Covers several small block sizes
Cons
  • 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.
