Schrick Camshaft Set, BMW M50/M52/S50/S52 276/270

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.

  Suitable for:
  -S50(US), Engines with stock pistons, and limited travel VANOS modification
  -S52(US), Engines with stock pistons, and limited travel VANOS modification
  -M50 & M52, Only those engines fitted with aftermarket pistons with enlarged valve reliefs
  (All M5x/S5xus Family engines are compatible when fitted with aftermarket pistons with adequate reliefs. Sets like our VAC/CP Pistons will allow for full VANOS travel)
   

  
  VAC Tech Notes:
  -This camshaft set must be accompanied by upgraded valve spring/retainer set for engine reliability.
  -As with all camshafts, new OEM BMW valve lifters are to be used during installation.
  -Engine RPMs should be kept at less that 7400 with hydraulic lifters for maximum reliability.
  -Piston to valve clearance MUST ALWAYS be checked when installing camshafts into these engines.
  -VANOS travel must be limited with OEM S50us and S52us pistons, we offer modified VANOS units for bolt-on installs.
  -ECU tuning is recommended for maximum power gains.
