Chevy Colorado Camshafts

The role of camshafts for engine performance is hard to overestimate. With the help of lobes specifically shaped and accurately positioned along the camshaft, it determines the moment and duration of opening the intake and exhaust valves of your Chevy Colorado. There are different solutions related to the cams and aimed at improved valve timing and higher engine efficiency: so-called "race cams" with the altered angles of lobes, variable valve timing with or without electronic lift control, DOHC or OHV configuration, etc. While the last two parameters refer to the overall engine design and cannot be changed, race camshafts are quite popular among engine tuners and racers.

Besides, there are two common types of camshafts used in OHV motors and selected depending on the kind of valve lifters, flat-tapped and roller ones. These cams differ by the shape of their lobes and are not interchangeable. The former are more affordable and widespread, while the latter allow the valves to open faster, lift higher, and let more air inside for greater performance.
