We have been getting quite a few questions lately about the Edelbrock 4730 Camshafts on a naturally aspirated application. Yesterday day we decided to upgrade the springs, retainers and drop a set of the 4730 Cams into an in house project car. The Test Mule was an 88 CRX equipped with an internally stock B16A, ITR Intake Manifold, Omni Power 68mm Throttlebody, AEM Short Ram Intake, and Authentic Hytech Header. With everything installed and ready to go it was time to hit the dyno for tuning on the S300. The end result was pretty good, The 4730 Cams overall picked...

Sport Compact Camshafts By Aaron Bonk Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “cam” as a disk or cylinder having an irregular form such that its motion – usually rotary – gives a rocking or reciprocating motion to any contiguous part.

The camshaft then, is simply a rod-shaped device that hosts one or more cams and is able to react against multiple objects all at once. And while cams may be found in any number of mechanical devices ranging from furniture hardware...

PROPER AIR PRESSURE Proper air pressure is critical to the best performance of your ET Drag or ET Street racing tires. Mickey Thompson strongly suggests investing in a good tire pressure gauge and that you keep accurate and complete records of each pass. This will aid you in becoming a consistent performer. Recommending air pressure is not easy, since there are so many variables that affect it: i.e. weight distribution, transmission, chassis set-up, wheel size, etc. To help you, we have broken down the types of vehicles into the following categories with a recommended starting point for the correct air...

This story is still amazing to me. The wheels are finally here and I still don't really believe it. Anyone that may of been associated with FWD Drag Racing for a while might remember a very rare, not very used drag wheel built by BBS back in the late '90s, early 2000's. I have known about these 4x100 BBS Drag Wheels since approximately 2004 when the only 2 sets that I knew of in existence belonged to Stacey Hyche and Tracey Hyche who ran a NDRA Turbo 4 Integra and a NDRA Comp 4 Civic. They were also offered in...
