VAC Mini Cam Tech Tips:
-VAC always recommends High Performance Valve Springs on any aggressive cams or cars that see track use camshaft upgrades. This ensures our customers always get the best performance and reliability from their engine by helping prevent pistons-to-valve contact in the event of an over-rev or mis-shift. This is typically not necessary for street only Minis.
-Please have a machinist inspect your rocker arms for wear before reuse. Rocker arms with wear should be replaced before install of a new cam!

Buy Now: $2,699.95

Made in Germany from premium blanks, Schrick manufactures some of the finest performance and OE camshafts available on the market.

VAC Motorsports has been installing and racing with Schrick cams for decades, putting these components to the ultimate test, with only consistent, powerful, and reliable results.

This set is no exception. At 264° intake / 256° exhaust, these stock-replacement cams for BMW M50, M52, S50, S52 engines offer increased performance throughout the available rev range, making them an ideal choice for the street performance or dual street/track car with very little compromise in idle quality.

Flat power band means a fast, easy to control car around the track with less stress and strain on the engine. These camshafts can truly be run without internal engine work, although uprated valve springs are absolutely a recommended safety measure for tracked cars as OE springs will NOT tolerate any over-revs.

VAC Tech Tip:

We recommend that nearly all Camshaft upgrades should be accompanied by upgraded valve springs for performance and engine reliability: If the engine is ever over revved, or you accidentally miss shift, the engine could be damaged. Uprated springs can help protect against this costly and severe accident.
