Complete Guide to Performance VW Camshafts

[AlteWagen]

I often refer to this list for customer inquiries so thought this would be useful for others.

If you find any typographic errors or have additional specifications @ .050 please let me know and I will update the sheets ASAP.

edit: fixed CB data

thats pretty good,I had another one but lost it in the big crash.I wonder why non of these charts have any of the crane or comp cams or other v8 grinders listed that did vw stuff in the old days(yes engle is a v8 grinder as is ersonn& some others,) crane did vw& porsche cams long ago. and also possiably made aluminum roller rockers,but they may of went to some special racers& not sold to the public. mr crane told me he didnt remember ever selling them to the public,so there are some sets out there somewhere...possiably.but probably all used up.

[gooser]

i also wonder why cb performance's famous cheater cam (2280) is not listed or is that not considered a performance cam?

[AlteWagen]

Mark, if you have any of the crane, comp, crower, erson, clay, isky or any other old school grind numbers I will gladly add them

Shoot me any info you have


Ill ad the 2280 right now, dont know how I missed that one.

Thanks

there is a few of CB/Eagle on this page that you don't have. 2290, 2291,2295,2296 and 2297. Thanks for charting all this info. It's great to have it all in one spot and I know it must be a bit of work on all the data entry. Thanks for taking the time.

Cant take all the credit, there was a list on line somewhere but had some out of date info. I updated it a few times but like the feedback and extra eyes as it all starts to look the same after a while.

Keep it coming!

I've been using a JPM Raptor camshaft for a few years (the middle one below). These cams are designed to be run with less spring pressure at high rpm's. Here's their main list, but they also custom grind at various lobe angles, etc. Duration is at 1.27mm (0.050") and lift is at the cam lobe:

JPM01106 251° 10.00mm (0.394") 1.1-1.25:1
JPM01706 258° 9.57mm (0.377") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM00806 263° 9.64mm (0.380") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM01006 274° 10.35mm (0.407") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM06908 274° 10.80 mm (0.425") 1.4-1.6:1
JPM00206 280° 10.50mm (0.413") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM00406 282° 10.70mm (0.421") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM01306 287° 11.43mm (0.450") 1.4-1.5:1
JPM00906 293° 11.25mm (0.443") 1.45-1.6:1

JPM; best cams in the industry

[Max Welton]

I was going to say the SLR cams were missing, but a lot of what is on this SLR page you have under Babe Erson Cams.

While in this cam discussion has anyone an idea of who ground this one? I've look everywhere!

[Olli from NJ]

On the CB site it states that all of their cams are 107 lobe center. The above chart has a lot of them listed at 108.

[vwracerdave]

I wish CB would redo their entire listings of cams. It is very difficult to understand what they offer and compare all their cams together to make a choice. I don't ever buy CB cams because the way they list them in groups is too difficult to navigate.

I hope Pat Downs reads this. CB website listing of their cams sucks.
