Ford Racing Small Block V-8 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Camshaft Series

The Ford Racing Small Block V-8 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Camshaft series brings factory-backed, motorsports-validated engineering to serious small block V-8 builders. Developed and tested to Ford Performance's own engineering standards, each camshaft in this series is purpose-built to deliver measurable power gains while maintaining street reliability and long-term valvetrain durability.

The hydraulic roller tappet design reduces valvetrain friction compared to conventional flat-tappet camshafts, allowing more aggressive lobe profiles without sacrificing longevity or daily driveability. All valve events across this series are measured at 0.050" tappet lift, making degree-wheel verification during installation straightforward and accurate.

Series Highlights:

• Hydraulic Roller Tappet Design — Reduced friction and improved efficiency over flat-tappet designs, supporting higher RPM capability and extended component life
• Precision-Ground Lobe Profiles — Engineered to optimize intake and exhaust valve events for meaningful horsepower and torque gains across the RPM range
• Ford Performance Validated — Developed and tested to Ford's own engineering standards, drawing directly on championship motorsports program experience
• Multiple Grinds Available — A range of profiles spanning street performance, street/strip versatility, and all-out competition use; select the variant that best matches your power objectives
• 0.050" Tappet Lift Specifications — Industry-standard measurement point enables accurate degree-wheel cam verification during installation
• EFI Compatible — Compatible with mass air induction EFI systems; not compatible with speed density or Explorer EEC-V EFI systems
• Factory Roller Cam Block Ready — Designed for factory roller cam blocks; select grinds also fit earlier non-roller blocks when used with appropriate aftermarket tie-bar hydraulic roller lifters
• Upgraded Valve Springs Required — All grinds require upgraded valve springs meeting minimum seat and open pressure specifications for safe, reliable operation

Whether the goal is a more responsive street engine, a capable street/strip combination, or a dedicated competition build, the Ford Racing Small Block V-8 Hydraulic Roller Tappet Camshaft series provides a proven, factory-backed foundation.
