Download or read book High Performance Cams Valvetrains written by Billy Godbold and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand the "magic" of how optimized camshafts extract the most performance from every engine component, eliminating valvetrain guesswork. Camshafts are the coach and conductor of any four-stroke engine from early flatheads to modern Formula 1. Performance engines are amazingly sensitive to how and when the valves to the combustion chamber open and close. The valvetrain configuration and flow characteristics may change significantly between applications, but the fundamental principles are universal. This allows the language, setup, dynamics, energy, and pressure aspects of a valvetrain to be covered in a way that is just as useful for optimizing a sub-15-hp go-kart engine as it is on a 500-plus-hp street engine or modern 1,500-plus-hp NHRA Pro Stock engine. In High-Performance Cams & Valvetrains: Theory, Technology, and Selection, farm kid-turned-physicist Billy Godbold combines his quarter-century of experience with valvetrains at Comp Cams, Lunati, Crane Cams, and Edelbrock along with the techniques he uses with professional teams in NASCAR, NHRA, road racing, dirt track racing, offshore racing, and land speed racing, guiding you to think about any valvetrain system with his perspective. Often lighthearted and filled with analogies, this book endeavors to make complex concepts easy to understand without ever watering down important details. Specific configurations and applications are covered, providing techniques and examples for optimizing camshafts and the valvetrain around intakes, headers, superchargers, turbochargers, fuels, carburetors, and modern EFI applications. If you are planning or building a classic hot rod (Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, etc.), modern performance (LS, Hemi, Coyote, or Godzilla), or competition engine (road racing, circle track racing, or drag racing), these practical details show you how any valvetrain system should be modified to extract the most from every component and help you achieve your unique goals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tired of the wimpy 3, 5, and 7 horsepower gains offered by most bolt-on performance parts? It’s time to get inside your engine and hunt down some bigger gains. Headers, exhausts, and intakes are great, but your engine can only breathe as well as the cylinder head and camshafts allow. Whether you’re running all motor, nitrous injected, or boosted, your stock head and cams are holding you back. To date all the available hard-core information on cylinder heads and camshafts has been biased towards pushrod V-8s. Not any more. Author Aaron Bonk takes an in-depth look at cylinder heads, tackling technical aspects like port volume, airflow velocity, and combustion chamber shape, to help you make the most horsepower and torque with your combination. He also demystifies camshaft science, including lift and duration and their affect on your powerband. You’ll also learn to modify your head and choose the right cams if you’re running a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous. Aaron met with some of the industry’s most respected engine builders to get the inside info for engine-specific chapters on Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Dodge, Ford, and GM 4-cylinder heads and cams. He uses over 300 color photos to illustrate his points. Bonk has contributed to Sport Compact Car and Honda Tuner magazines, and has recently been named the technical editor of Turbo& High-Tech Performance magazine.
