Choosing the Right Cams for your Application:

 Duration @ 0.1mm  Valve Lift  Application
 241° Intake / 227° Exhaust   9.70mm Intake / 9.00mm Exhaust   OEM

 

 Duration @ 0.1mm  Valve Lift  Application

For optimal performance and reliability, 5150 strongly advises replacing your valve springs with your camshafts, even with mild camshaft upgrades. This essential step acts as a preventive measure against potential piston-to-valve contact during instances of over-revving or mis-shifts. By taking this proactive approach, we prioritize your engine's well-being and ensure that you experience the highest levels of performance without compromising on reliability.
