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.
These sets are no exception. Available configurations include:
| Cams |
Notes |
Requirements |
| 280° / 272° |
-Street performance cam, very similar to CSL cams in terms of power gain with stock M3-like drivability.
-Installs with factory tools
-An ECU tune will further improve power gains and drivability (typically in the 14-20WHP range) |
-New Schrick DLC followers must be used or camshafts can be damaged. |
| 288° / 280° std lift |
** The most popular S54 cams for Performance and Race Engines **
-A "hot rod" street cam. Strong power gains in midrange and high RPM. Thanks to the S54s dual VANOS, these are also street useable, a slight bumpy idle during warm-up, settles down nice and smooth approaching engine operating temp.
-Excellent Track and Race cam; very suitable for cars that need long engine life and great power.

-New Schrick DLC followers must be used with this cam set.
[We highly recommend that these are accompanied by a ECU tune for proper operation.] |
Longer durations &
High Lift Grinds |
-Each higher duration and lift offers incrementally better power gains over the 288° / 280°
-Suitable for race use, ideally used along with high compression pistons. OE pistons will not have adequate piston to valve clearance.
-To be used along with upgraded valve springs + retainers, read tech notes below.
-ECU tuning or programmable management required. |
-New Schrick DLC followers must be used with this cam set.
-288° / 280° high lift can use VANOS with custom pistons, for all others we recommend removing VANOS. |
Tech Notes:
*** Requires Professional Installer ***
*** New Schrick DLC followers must be used ***
- All upgraded S54 cams MUST be used with new Schrick DLC followers (rocker arms).
- The 288° / 280° 'high-lift' cams must be used with high performance valve springs and retainers.
- VANOS must be eliminated with the high-lift 304° / 296° Race Cams.
