To get the performance and power you need out of your Ford, Mopar or GM V8, going with a more aggressive camshaft is a great step in building an engine for your goals. Camshafts from Howards Cams are some of the best around - they’re manufactured starting out with some of the highest grade, race-ready cores and ground on CNC cam grinding machines for uniformity and precision. To ensure quality and superior service life under some of the most demanding conditions, all camshafts are parkerized and Rockwell hardness checked. It’s that commitment to quality and resistance to corrosion and wear that makes camshafts from Howards Cams the stuff of legends in the racing world.
