If you're looking to boost the performance of your 396-502 V8 Mark IV or Gen V engine from 1967 to 1995, the Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Camshaft #2261 is just what you need! This camshaft is specifically crafted to deliver optimal torque from the low-end all the way to the mid-range, making it a fantastic choice for a variety of vehicles.
The Rollin' Thunder camshafts pair beautifully with Performer manifolds, ensuring smooth operation from off-idle to 5500 RPM. Whether you're driving a daily commuter, a truck, a van, an RV, or even a 4x4, you can count on these cams to provide a steady idle and impressive throttle response. Get ready to feel a significant boost in torque!
When you install this camshaft, you can look forward to a remarkable improvement in your vehicle's performance. Plus, in the manifold section, you'll find torque graphs that illustrate the power gains achieved with Performer manifolds and Performer-Plus cams. It's all about getting the most out of your engine!
Each camshaft comes complete with flat tappet lifters (except for those designed for stock roller lifters), assembly lube, and easy-to-follow instructions. For instance, when paired with the Victor Jr. intake manifold #2902 and Victor Jr. 24 Degree cylinder heads #77485 on a GM ZZ-502 short block, this cam produced an impressive 611 HP and 573 Ft Lbs of torque!
Keep in mind, this camshaft is not suitable for 1965-66 Big Block Chevys with a grooved rear cam journal. It's best used with a high stall torque converter and stock ratio rocker arms for optimal results.
