CAMSHAFT Q & A
|
|
Read through this section of the FlowTech Induction web site
and let us help you achieve your ultimate goals
with one of our custom designed camshafts and matching valvetrain packages.
|

Why use a FlowTech Induction "true custom" designed camshaft?
Right from the onset, FTI engineers and designs all its camshaft profiles,
one at a time, with the customer's "specific" project requirements in mind.
The goal is to meet, and then exceed our customer's requirements
when their camshaft is being developed and finalized.
Many performance shops offer only a very limited selection of camshaft profiles
in a vain attempt to cover all of their customer's performance needs.
If one of these shop's "so called" custom camshafts is ready for shipment
the day you order, how well engineered or designed
for your particular combination can their camshaft be?
Think about all the hundreds of possible combinations there are out there!
How can a small selection camshaft profiles meet
all of your specific requirements?
Of course not, but that's why you're "here" researching you camshaft purchase.
Whether it's for a race only vehicle or a daily driver,
each FTI grind is completely designed and engineered for a customer's goals
and overall combination.
We always take into consideration every facet of the vehicle's dynamics
and the customer's goals before a profile is finalized.
Another very important difference when chosing FlowTech Induction,
is our philosophy of customer follow-up and communication.
We always work closely with all our street customers and hardcore racers
and are continually informed of their progress and successes.
Whether it's tuning issues, suspension recommendations or
just a friendly follow up,
we are always going the extra mile to provide the best support
for our customers.

Why consider an FTI "true-custom" camshaft
over another shop's "off the shelf" camshaft?
Technology changes every day!
Every FlowTech Induction camshaft is engineered with the
latest state of the art lobe designs available,
with new ideas and concepts happening all the time!
This every growing selection of lobe designs allows us to
provide a huge selection of camshaft profiles to our customers
for maximum performance!
Can "last years's" camshaft provide you with the latest profiles?
Absolutely NOT!
But a cam design from FlowTech Induction can!
Even our own "shelf" grinds, which most of our dealers carry,
are continually evaluated and updated to provide our
customers the latest camshaft technology possible.
Results are readily available from many of our dealers and their customers.
Our late model EFI customers using our "StreetBeast" or
"REBEL" series of custom hydraulic roller camshafts
have seen amazing increases in their horsepower and torque numbers.
Power levels that set the bar for others to follow.
General Motors LSX customers using the "StreetBeast" and "Max-Effort" series
of custom hydraulic roller camshafts in their
LS1 Camaros, Firebirds, Corvettes and the new GTOs have seen
rear wheel horsepower and torque numbers that make them act
like stroker engines.
The newest series of camshafts, the "REBEL" and "TOXIC" series are
starting to show their strength on the street as well as the track.
The REBEL series was created to bridge the gap
between the proven "StreetBeast" and
"Max-Effort" designs while the "TOXIC" line is the
big papa being a step or two above the "Max-Effort" design.
This series was developed for the serious racer that wants even more!
Just ask around the popular Mustang and LSX web sites and
we're sure you'll find plenty of satisfied customers.

What about big inch stroker engines and big blocks?
Stroker profiles are no problem at all with our diverse selection of
hydraulic and solid roller cam lobes available.
We have a huge hydraulic roller cam lobes with gross lifts
starting at .450" and go to the moon with our
BigBoy .714" "Max-Effort" series.
Effective duration specs start out with a tiny 206 degree lobe through
the lunacy of the "Gorilla" 280 degree lobes.
FlowTech Induction also has solid and hydraulic flat tappet profiles
that rival any camshaft designer's selection. Light-weight lifters and
oil fed designs are also available.
Having all these possibilities available to our customers is what allows us
to develop such a variety of cam profiles from mild to wild
for your "bigger is better" engine.
So whether you are running a 331 small block Ford or a
600+ cube big block Chevy,
we can provide you with the correct camshaft profile
that fits your special needs.

such as NMRA Pure Street and Factory Stock, PRO Edelbrock Mean Street
and Street Race.

there are three different design series available to these "Heads-Up" racers.
You can choose from our "Max-Air" series of high torque,
quick ramp lobes, our "Soft-Ramp" lobes
for more engine RPM and some street duty or
our record shattering "HR-7000+" Series lobes
for even higher RPM usage.
Such a large selection of designs allows FTI to provide our racing customers
with over 85 different camshaft parameters allowing for maximum performance!
Top runners in NMRA, FFW and WFC use them!
Plenty of other top drag racers are using them too but they just ain't tellin' you!

so you better be serious with your combination before you step up
to one of these sticks.
