TORRANCE, CA (April 2, 2015) – Edelbrock has introduced a new Rollin’ Thunder camshaft for small-block Chevrolet engines.

Rollin-Thunder-detailDesigned to improve horsepower and torque, it produces an evocative idle sound yet provides sufficient vacuum. Rollin’ Thunder camshafts feature more aggressive lift profiles than conventional flat-tappet hydraulic cams, without excessive valve overlap that can compromise low rpm driveability.

The new Rollin’ Thunder camshaft (#2231) is designed specifically for use with 1957-86 Chevrolet 283-400 V8 engines. It features a unique profile that will provide sufficient vacuum at idle for power brakes and other vacuum-powered accessories. In addition it includes assembly lube and instructions (lifters sold separately). During testing, this camshaft produced 460 HP and 460 ft-lb of torque when matched with a Performer RPM intake manifold (#7516), a Thunder Series AVS carburetor (#1813) and Performer RPM E-Tec cylinder heads (#60985) on an Edelbrock 383 crate engine.
