The chart below lists a “ballpark” range of camshaft durations to consider running based on the intake runner volume of various RHS™ cylinder heads. Keep in mind that unless you run a high valve lift (above .550”) camshaft with the 220 & 235cc heads, you may not realize any performance advantage over cylinder heads with smaller intake runners. Note that we do not make a recommendation based on advertised duration because the wide range of methods by which camshaft manufacturers rate advertised duration makes it a poor indicator by which to compare camshafts.

Remember that this is a general guideline, and your intended application, advice of your engine builder, technician, etc. should always take precedence when it comes to cam selection on an individual basis. Note that you can also get help with camshaft selection by either Emailing RHS™ or contacting COMP Cams® CAM HELP™ at (800)-999-0853.

*General recommendation only –not meant to replace other methods of camshaft selection. Note that camshaft/head recommendation “up to 350 CID” should also be taken to include 351W and other Small Block Ford engines.
