What is the primary benefit of a hydraulic roller camshaft kit like this?

Hydraulic roller camshafts generally reduce friction compared to flat tappet designs. This can lead to improved engine efficiency and potentially better fuel economy, along with the performance gains from the camshaft's specific grind.

What other components are typically needed when installing a camshaft kit?

Beyond the included camshaft, lifters, and pushrods, you'll typically need new valve springs, retainers, and valve seals. It's also a good idea to inspect or replace timing components and consider new engine oil with appropriate ZDDP additive for break-in.

Is this camshaft kit compatible with any engine modifications?

This kit is ground to work well with Edelbrock Performer or Performer RPM manifolds and cylinder heads. It can also be used with other components designed for a similar RPM range, but specific compatibility with heavily modified or non-standard setups should be verified.

About this part

Product Details

Edelbrock has been a name in performance parts for a long time, known for making components that help you get more out of your engine. This Rollin' Thunder camshaft kit, part number 22015, is a prime example of that, designed specifically for 1957 through 1986 Small-Block Chevy V8 engines. If you're looking to rebuild or upgrade the top end of your engine, this kit gives you the core components to do it right.

What you get here is a complete package: a hydraulic roller camshaft, matching hydraulic roller lifters, and the necessary pushrods. This setup is ground to work well with Edelbrock's Performer or Performer RPM manifolds and cylinder heads, but it can also be paired with other components that operate in a similar RPM range. The camshaft itself has a duration of 234 degrees on the intake and 238 degrees on the exhaust at .050 lift, with valve lift figures of .539 inches for the intake and .548 inches for the exhaust. The lobe separation is set at 112 degrees, and the intake centerline is at 107 degrees, which helps achieve a solid idle vacuum of around 12 inches at 1000 RPM. This combination is designed to reduce friction and can lead to improved fuel economy while delivering a noticeable bump in performance.

This kit fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and C10 trucks from the 1980s. It's a well-built package that brings together key valvetrain components from a trusted name in performance. Remember that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
