Basic Cam Guidelines for Hydraulic Flat Tappets

"REAL CHRYSLER CAMS" are specifically designed to provide very fast rates-of-lift, more area under the curve, higher cylinder pressure and vacuum. This is possible because they are designed for the .904" diameter stock Chrysler lifter. Other manufacturers design their cams for the smaller .842" diameter GM lifter which limit their potential. Fast rates of lift increase torque, horsepower and widen the power range, much like a roller camshaft. Both our hydraulic and solid tappet cams have fast rates of lift and are suitable for street, strip, or track use.
