Edelbrock Rollin Thunder Camshaft Performer RPM Chevy LS1 Hydraulic Roller for EFI Applications

If you're looking to get more torque and better throttle response from your 1997-2004 Chevy LS1 or LS6 engine, the Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Camshaft #2218 is a solid option. This camshaft is specifically tuned to deliver its best performance in the low-end to mid-range RPM band, making it a great choice for daily drivers, trucks, vans, RVs, and 4x4s that need more grunt off the line and during normal driving. It's designed to work well with Edelbrock's Performer manifolds, aiming for optimal power delivery up to about 5500 RPM.

This camshaft features a 207-degree intake duration and a 220-degree exhaust duration, with lifts of .573 inches on the intake and .580 inches on the exhaust. The 118-degree lobe separation angle and 119.5-degree intake centerline contribute to a smooth idle, which is notable for a performance camshaft. Edelbrock states that when paired with their E-CNC 215 cylinder heads, this cam helped produce 494 horsepower and 439 ft-lbs of torque, showing its potential for significant power gains. Keep in mind that this camshaft requires a high stall torque converter and will not work with stock valve springs, so be prepared for these necessary supporting modifications.

When you order the Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder Camshaft #2218, it comes complete with flat tappet lifters, assembly lube, and detailed instructions to help guide you through the installation process. This kit is designed to reduce friction, contributing to the overall efficiency and longevity of your engine's valvetrain.
