The thing about hot rodders is that we want everything. It isn’t enough to have an engine that makes great power, we want to let the world know it is doing so through the way it sounds. Companies like Edelbrock stay up at night thinking of ways to appease every proclivity that us hot rodders have and that’s why products like the new Rollin’ Thunder cam exist. By creating a cam that delivers that really awesome lumpy idle that we all love yet still manages to work happily with vacuum controlled brakes and other components on your car, Edelbrock is giving you the best of both worlds. Oh, there’s also the last element which is making power.
No one wants to stick a cam in, get great sounds and go slower, right? These guys have engineered this cam to make more juice in the 1,500-6,500 RPM range and to be honest that is where the vast majority of street performance small blocks are living so it makes perfect sense. This cam was part of a 450hp+ 383ci stroker package that the company tested its performance in so if you are in the mood for more rumble and more power, the new Rollin’ Thunder cam from Edelbrock may be just your ticket!

New Edelbrock Rollin’ Thunder Camshaft
|
| Torrance, CA – {April 2, 2015} Edelbrock is excited to offer a new Rollin’ Thunder camshaft for small-block Chevrolet engines.Edelbrock Rollin’ Thunder camshafts are designed to improve horsepower and torque, produce a great sounding performance idle and provide 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 drivability. The new Rollin’ Thunder camshaft (#2231) is designed specifically for use with 1957-86 Chevrolet 283-400 V8 engines. This camshaft features a unique profile that will provide sufficient vacuum at idle for power brakes and other vacuum powered accessories. This camshaft includes assembly lube and instructions (lifters sold separately). In testing, this camshaft produced 460 HP and 460 ft-lbs. of torque when matched with a Performer RPM intake manifold (#7516), Thunder Series AVS carburetor (#1813) and Performer RPM E-Tec cylinder heads (#60985) on an Edelbrock 383 crate engine. |
