Vehicle Compatibility and Return Conditions.

This item was designed and engineered in the USA for US domestic vehicles. OBD tools, ECUs, dongles, programmers, and tuners may have limited compatibility with vehicles outside the USA due to regional differences in emission standards and system configurations. Some features and functionality may vary depending on the vehicle and location.

Some electronic tuning devices and programmers require activation, registration, or pairing with a specific vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Once activated or paired, these devices may become permanently associated with that vehicle, restricting or preventing their use on another vehicle, resticting our ability to offer returns or exchanges.

Please review the product details and images to ensure it meets your needs. For clarification or assistance, feel free to contact a StreetFX agent. Note: Returns are not accepted for special order or tuning products unless the unit is deemed faulty.

Images are supplied by the manufacturer and may be generic. While all efforts are made to provide accurate pictures, there may be differences in the actual product, such as colour, quantity, version, or included components. Please carefully review the description and specifications for details on inclusions or any variations. Some items may be sold individually or in sets, and images may occasionally depict additional products or quantities not included in your purchase.

Make some noise with Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder hydraulic roller camshafts. Designed to improve horsepower and torque, they feature more aggressive profiles than conventional flat-tappet hydraulic cams without excessive valve overlap. Recommended for high performance street and strip use, Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder hydraulic roller camshafts work best from 1,500 to 6,500 rpm and are performance matched to Edelbrock Total Power Package components for proven performance.

Features Include:
• Performance--roller camshafts generate higher lift velocity and faster valve action for increased horsepower and torque gains
• Drivability--produces great sounding idle with excellent vacuum at idle
• Durability--the smaller surface contact area of roller tappets and their reduced friction, together with stronger camshaft material (hardened steel or iron) ensures longer camshaft life
• Environmental--can use ILSAC GF-4 oil, which lowers emissions and does not require zinc or phosphate oil additives
• Economy--reduced contact friction between the lifter and camshaft can increase fuel economy for better mileage
