Crower 01242 Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft

Level 3 camshafts are designed for moderately modified engines. Intended for performance hot street/strip and performance marine applications, these profiles have a moderate lope at idle and offer an extended RPM range with emphasis on upper bottom to top end power and a strong midrange. These higher lift, longer duration camshafts demand close attention to rear end gearing and tire diameter combinations. The secret here is to pick a ring and pinion gear set and tire diameter that keeps the engine in its optimum RPM power range. These profiles perform well with four-speed manual transmissions or automatic transmissions if a high stall torque converter is employed. Headers, dual exhaust, larger tat stock carburetor, performance manifold and increased compression (9.5:1 to 10.5:1) are required. Mild porting and larger valves will improve performance.

Intended for the performance oriented hot street application. These cams offer an extended rpm range with emphasis on upper bottom to top end power (strong mid-range). Performance gears, headers, dual exhaust, larger than stock cfm carburetor, performance manifold and increased compression (9.5:1 to 10.5:1) are required. Works well with automatic transmission if matched with proper ring and pinion gears and/or high stall converter.
