Product Details

If you're looking to get more usable power out of your classic Small-Block Chevy V8, specifically those 283 to 400 cubic inch engines from 1987 and later (excluding LT1/Gen III), this Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder camshaft is a solid choice. It's designed to really wake up the low-end to mid-range torque, making your daily driver, truck, or RV feel much more responsive. You can expect a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall pulling power, especially when paired with an Edelbrock Performer manifold.

This camshaft features a 234 degrees of intake duration and 238 degrees of exhaust duration, with .539 inches of intake lift and .548 inches of exhaust lift. The 112-degree lobe separation angle and 107-degree intake centerline are tuned for smooth idling and strong performance in the 1500-5500 RPM range. Edelbrock includes the necessary flat tappet lifters, assembly lube, and instructions to help you get this installed. For optimal results, it's recommended to use this cam with a high stall torque converter and stock ratio rocker arms.

When matched with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, Thunder Series AVS carburetor, and Performer RPM E-Tec cylinder heads, this specific setup has shown the potential to produce around 435 horsepower and 435 foot-pounds of torque. Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
