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 and above or for engines with a compression ratio of 10.5:1 to 11.75:1. Engines with a compression ratio exceeding 11.75:1 may require race gas or methanol to minimize the risk of detonation. Engines with a compression ratio below 10.5:1 may experience improved power but will see minimal gains or lack performance under 4500 rpms. For smaller displacement and lower compression engines, we recommend the Reaper Jr.
The camshaft is designed to achieve the optimal average horsepower and torque between 5000 and 7500 rpms, with 3500 to 7000 rpms as the secondary range for peak horsepower and torque values. In other words, we will not sacrifice average power within the 5000 to 7500 range to boost peak figures. We would only compromise the average from 3500 to 7000 if it significantly enhances both the peak power and the average power in the 5000 to 7500 range. We still want this camshaft to be usable for individuals who require a lower engagement or stall with their clutch or torque converter.
