"It's all about the flow" so they say!. The valve timing events in an engine are well known to be one of the key ingredients in developing the best power and torque from an engine. Choosing the correct Performance camshafts for optimising the breathing of a performance or race engine are probably much more technical than many enthusiasts really care for.
Choosing the correct camshaft for an engine can have a significant input into low end drivability and power.
For example a 272 cam which is a common request! There are dozens of variations of a 272 degree profile for any given engine. It can have different lobe centers, different peak lift specifications and so on, but still be called a 272. More importantly is what goes on with the profile from 1mm of lift and upwards.
Different cam manufacturers have different ways of achieving similar results. We have used dozens of different brands of camshafts over the years.
