NOTE :
Camshaft intake and exhaust valve events are measured at 0.050" tappet lift. The
duration figures in the shaded area are taken at 0.050" tappet lift. This is useful to check
the cam with a degree wheel during installation. The solid color is advertised duration. For
comparison purposes, add intake and exhaust lobe centers and divide by 2 to calculate
“camshaft lobe separation” specification for Ford Racing camshafts.
NOTES :
➀ On EFI engines, performance camshafts work only with mass air induction
systems. Will not work with Explorer EEC-V EFI.
➁ Also fits 1994-1997 351W with factory roller cam when used with mass air EFI.
➂ Stock 5.0L HO cam advertised specs are 266°/266° duration, 0.444"/0.444" lift.
➃ May require piston modification for piston-to-valve clearance. Valve clearance
should be checked.
➄ May require longer push rods.
➅ Hi-Stall torque converter recommended for automatic trans.
➆ Emissions legal with 5-speed manual trans. E.O. #D-225-16.
➇ Great for superchargers. Manual transmission recommended.
➈ Good torque and power up to 6200 rpm. Manual transmission recommended.
➉ Good torque and power up to 6500 rpm. Manual transmission recommened.
