Tennessee Thunderstix - Reaper .268 Performance Camshaft
Reaper is the name of the world's hottest pepper, the personification of death, and now the hottest cam on the market, with its own ability to take souls.
In developing this camshaft, we wanted a successor to our popular Banzai camshaft(which popularized many 265 lift camshafts that have saturated the market) designed for larger displacement and higher compression small block Honda-clone engines. Our goal was to build the ultimate non-welded “sleeper” cam, which would make the camshaft very affordable and would not need more than 26 lbs valve spring to use stock valve train components.
This cam is recommended for engines 223cc+ or engines with a 10:1 – 11.5:1 Compression Ratio. Engines with more than 11:5:1 may require race gas or methanol to reduce the chance of detonation. Engines with less than 10:1 may show improved power but find minimal gains or lack of performance below 4000 rpms. For smaller displacement and lower compression engines, we recommend the Reaper Jr.
The camshaft is designed to make the best average horsepower and torque between 5000-7500rpms, primarily with 3500-7000rpms as the secondary and the peak horsepower and torque numbers. In other words, we would not sacrifice average power between 5000-7500 to increase peak numbers. We would only sacrifice the 3500-7000 average if it increases both peak power and average power between 5000-7500, which would increase significantly. We still want this camshaft to be useable for people who need a lower engagement or stall on their clutch or torque converter.
