The SBD 284 & SBD278 cams have been designed give about 15 -20 BHP* over standard cams, without compromising the drivability of the standard engine, they produce a power band of 3250 - 8200 RPM. They can be used with the standard pistons when the valve pockets are deepened. If used with Omega pistons & steel rods it will allow the compression to be raised. This increases the torque across the entire rev range and the steel rods allow the use of higher revs.

The SBD278 and SBD 269 cams are new cams that have been designed to give the widest possible power band & although the duration appears to be shorter than the hydraulic profiles, they have a bigger opening area from 1mm lift onwards. Power band 2500 - 8500 RPM. Ideal choice for rally/race.

All SBD camshafts have been designed in conjunction with Kent Cams and extensively tested on the dynamometer. Because of the costs involved in developing and testing, we charge a premium price for all our own cam profiles. If however, you wish to purchase Kent Cam profiles from their normal range of cams standard listings, these will be available at normal Kent Cams prices.

All Exhaust cams shown are shortened for Distributor less use if you intend on using a Distributor please remove the 'S' from the end of part number when ordering.

*Power gains can only be achieved provided your engine has the components to complement it. E.g. exhaust manifold & system, induction system & cylinder head porting where required. If you look at our upgrade kits they will give you more help.
