About the REV1 cam
The REV1 cam was designed for naturally aspirated applications where emissions and street-ability are important. It uses steep ramp rates and tight base lobes to keep the computer happy while still providing great performance. It does not set the P0300 code and can be installed on a stock 3.8L all the way to radical. It was designed for the NA 3.8L but also works well with nitrous or intercooled boost. It is the only major 3.8L grind on the market that does not need a converter or gear changes to see gains. The REV1 can be used on stock heads with stock springs and retainers, but we recommend upgrading to 90 or 105# springs along with higher shift points.
Look for gains of 30+ HP depending on your car's current configuration, with a drop of 1/2 sec in the 1/4 mile.

Important
- Pushrod length will need checking if the heads have been skimmed or the block has been decked.
- We may be able to provide a memcal for this package depending on your setup. Message us for details.
- We recommend dialling in all aftermarket cams with a degree wheel so they are phased correctly with the crankshaft (our 8" and 11" degree wheels are listed in other ads).
- Removing the timing cover may upset the sump gasket on some models. We stock cork and metal sump gaskets if yours cannot be re-used.
- Stage 2 and 3 performance cam packages are sold in other listings, and we have all gaskets available through other ads. The image is for illustration only.
Warranty: 12 months on parts, subject to inspection.
