🔥 WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR POWER? 🔥

Cam duration plays a big role in deciding where your engine comes alive.

⏱️ Shorter Duration → More low-end torque and response, with the powerband generally lower in the RPM range.

⏱️ Longer Duration → Shifts the powerband higher, helping your engine breathe and make power at higher RPM.

But bigger isn't always better. The right duration is the one that puts the power where your combination needs it. 💪

⚙️ NOT ALL STEEL IS CREATED EQUAL ⚙️

In motorsports, choosing the right steel is not simply about selecting the strongest material. Alloy chemistry, heat treatment, hardened depth, core toughness, fatigue resistance, surface finish, and steel cleanliness all influence how a finished component performs.

🔩 5150 / 5160
Commonly used for billet roller camshaft cores. These chromium alloy steels respond well to induction hardening, providing hard, wear-resistant lobes and journals, while retaining a tougher core. They offer an excellent balance of durability and cost.

⚙️ 8620
A carburizing grade used in gears, roller camshafts, lifter bodies, and steel rocker arms. When properly carburized and heat treated, 8620 develops a hard, wear-resistant case over a tough and ductile core.

🔥 9310
A higher alloy carburizing steel selected for greater core strength, toughness, hardenability, and impact resistance. It can be found in severe-duty gears and extreme racing camshafts, including Top Fuel applications.

🏁 PM M4
A particle metallurgy high speed tool steel offering exceptional wear resistance, strength, and dimensional stability. It is suited for extremely demanding valvetrain loads and aggressive camshaft profiles, including applications at the NASCAR level.

Because a great camshaft requires more than great material. It requires the right alloy, correct heat treatment, precision machining, proper surface finish, and uncompromising quality control. 💪🏼

🔥 From Bar Stock to Horsepower🔥

Ever wondered what the different stages look like before your cam becomes a cam? 👀

Here's a look at the transformation:

1️⃣ BAR STOCK
It all starts here: the raw material that will become a performance camshaft is selected.

2️⃣ SPOOL
The first major transformation. The material is machined into the basic shape that establishes the foundation for the cam. The lobes are all still the same in diameter.

3️⃣ UNGROUND LOBE (UGL)
Now it's starting to look familiar. The lobes are formed and ready for precision grinding. This is also when the cam is coppered and heat-treated.

4️⃣ FINISHED CAM
The final profile comes to life, with each lobe precision-ground to its intended specifications.

From raw material to the finished product, there's a lot that happens before a COMP Cam ever fires up in your engine.
