Want more power than the 264/256 cam set?... 276/270 are
here!
No other cam gives you this power, for this dollar!...
Schrick is a partner and supplier of several top international motorsports
including Formula 1, NASCAR, and LeMans. As well as factory partners like
Bugatti / Porsche and even the US armed forces. When a company or team wants to
work with the best, Schrick is without any question the #1 suppler.
Co-developed in a joint venture of VAC and Schrick, over the past few years we
have run these in test cars with absolutely excellent results. This
cam set for the BMW inline 6 is what customers have been waiting for:
A camshaft
set that makes more power than the 264/256 set on the S50 US & S52 US engines without requiring aftermarket pistons
and with no reliability issues for cars that see hard track use or thousands and
thousands of street miles.
These cams offer very strong power gains in the mid and top of the RPM band
without making the low RPM soft at all. Enjoy serious power without valvetrain or
drivability issues of large cams from other brands, and because Schrick is a
world leader, these camshafts are several hundred dollars less than boutique
brands while being much more reliable.
This set is suitable for both high performance street cars and track use, and is
easy to tune for.
Don't let the seemingly short duration of these cams fool you: Customer building
competitive race engines with high compression have reported exceptional
results from such a reliable setup... This includes many top finishes in BMW
club racing, NASA, and SCCA.
- A direct replacement for stock cams* (along with performance spring kits & a VANOS limit-shim or Modified VANOS)
- 276*in / 270*ex matched set
developed for great horsepower gains and a broad torque delivery
- Unlike most
cams from VAC and Sunbelt, these install with factory tools saving a great
deal of time!
- Manufactured in Europe from premium camshaft blanks at Schrick GMBH
-What do these cams drive like on the street?: On the street your BMW will be faster and more powerful in all areas.
Idle is streetable with the sound of an upgraded cam "rumble". Power band is super strong under the curve and linear.
Improved torque along with horsepower will improve 0-60 as well as highway
performance. Strong gains in the mid to high RPMs are felt as well. Works well
with original or aftermarket pistons*.
-What do these cams drive like on the Track?: These cams are excellent for the beginner or the seasoned racer.
Flat power band means a fast, easy to control car around the track with less stress and strain on the engine.
This camshaft set can be run without internal engine work on S50us and S52us, although uprated valve springs are
required. Works great with factory pistons but builds even more power along with
higher compression pistons. These cams are being used as 'a secret weapon' of
several nationally ranked racers.
