Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What kind of performance increase can I expect with a Stage 1 camshaft?
   A Stage 1 camshaft will provide a noticeable improvement in low to mid-range torque and horsepower compared to a stock camshaft. You’ll likely experience better throttle response and a broader power band. The idle should remain relatively smooth.
2. Do I need new lifters with this camshaft?
   Yes, it is absolutely essential to use new hydraulic flat tappet lifters when installing a new flat tappet camshaft. Using old lifters with a new cam will likely cause premature wear and failure of both components.
3. Will this camshaft work with my stock valve springs and torque converter?
   Depending on the exact valve lift of this camshaft, it is often compatible with stock valve springs in many applications. For automatic transmissions, this camshaft should work well with a stock torque converter.
4. Will this camshaft affect my engine’s idle?
   A Stage 1 camshaft typically results in a slightly firmer idle than stock, but it should still be smooth enough for comfortable daily driving.
5. Do I need to “break in” this camshaft?
   Yes, all new flat tappet camshafts require a specific 20-30 minute break-in procedure immediately after initial startup to ensure proper lubrication and prevent premature wear of the cam lobes and lifters.
6. Do you ship engine parts nationwide in South Africa?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of engine components throughout South Africa.
7. Can I contact you if I have fitment and compatibility questions about this camshaft for my specific Ford 289/302 Windsor engine build?
   Absolutely! Our knowledgeable support team is available to assist with detailed inquiries. Please provide as much information as possible about your engine build (heads, intake, exhaust, transmission, intended use) so we can offer the best guidance.
