Re: 4x4 Cam ?

If you are referring to "offroad" cams... that doesn't mean "4X4" or "4 Wheeler Cam"... it means it's not intended for use in vehicles that will be driven in states that have laws concerning aftermarket parts because of smog laws.

"offroad" usually means "racing"... as in dragstrip, circletrack, autocross. It can be used in 4 wheel drives off highway... but that is not what is intended when "offroad" is used to describe speed parts.

Unless someone makes a cam specifically designed for 4 wheel drives... I might be missing something.

"RV" cams were popular in the 80's. They were mainly marketed to motorhomes and trucks that did a lot of pulling. Since they had a little more duration and lift than a stock cam... they gained popularity with mild hot rodding setups.

I agree on the Edelbrock Performer Packages being a good deal for a mild camshaft setup.
