Edelbrock Perf RPM Cam and Lifters Kit Ford 289-302

If you're looking to get more power out of your small-block Ford 289, 302, or even the 260 V8, this Edelbrock Performer RPM Cam and Lifters Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to give your engine a noticeable boost in performance, especially in the 1500 to 6500 RPM range, making it well-suited for high-performance street applications. It's a popular upgrade for classic Mustangs, Broncos, and many Ford trucks from the late 50s through the 90s.

Edelbrock has taken the guesswork out of selecting a camshaft by dyno-matching this Performer RPM camshaft with their Performer RPM manifolds. This means you get a well-coordinated setup that aims for strong high-rpm horsepower while still keeping acceptable low-end torque. The camshaft itself features a duration of 224 degrees on the intake and 234 degrees on the exhaust at .050 lift, with valve lift figures of .496 inches for the intake and .520 inches for the exhaust. This increased lift and duration over stock camshafts contribute to its performance gains. You'll typically see around 10 to 12 inches of manifold vacuum at idle with this setup.

This kit includes the hydraulic flat tappet lifters needed to complete the installation. While this camshaft is designed for significant performance improvements, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal results, consider pairing this camshaft with matching Edelbrock intake manifolds and cylinder heads, as demonstrated in their dyno tests which showed gains of 367 HP and 340 ft-lbs of torque on a 302 engine when used with specific Edelbrock components.
