We stock a full range of Standard camshafts, which represent good value for money. In addition, we offer a choice of Performance camshafts - available either as complete kits or on their own - which are designed to improve torque and horsepower when fitted to standard or uprated engines.
Our Mild Road camshaft gives a noticeable increase in low rev torque, with smooth idle characteristics and good fuel economy.
The Mild Road is a hydraulic camshaft, available on its own or as part of a kit, including followers, single valve springs and fitting instructions.
Fast Road camshafts are available separately as a hydraulic type only, or in complete kits as hydraulic or solid camshafts. All Fast Road camshafts are suitable for engines right up to 5.2 litres. They are particularly effective when used as part of a complete Performance package with our Stage 1, 3 or 4 cylinder heads, uprated fuel systems and Sports Exhausts.
Fast Road Hydraulic is a hydraulic camshaft which boosts top-end power whilst retaining low-end torque and good fuel economy.
Fast Road Solid is a solid-lifter camshaft available only as a complete kit, which includes lifters, adjustable timing chain set, adjustable pushrods, all necessary gaskets and full instructions. The Fast Road Solid camshaft is designed for serious performance applications, where maximum top-end power is required, whilst still being suitable for the road.
All parts listed are suitable for saloon/Sports and 4x4 applications unless otherwise stated.
