Feuling Race Series M-8
Camchest Kit
Oceanside, California based Feuling Parts' complete
camchest kits include all necessary components, from
the top to the bottom of the camchest, conveniently
packaged under one part number to "ensure each
individual part is designed to work and function
together, and to do so in total harmony," says Feuling
CEO Luke Leatherman.
"They take the guesswork out of the ordering process
and provide the engine with builder maximum
reliability, peak performance and the coolest
engine/oil temperatures obtainable."
The kits include Feuling's high-volume oil pump, high-
flow camplate, Reaper Series camshafts, hydraulic
roller lifters, fixed length pushrods, Timken /Koyo cam
bearings, rocker arm studs/nuts, gaskets, O-rings, ARP
cam/crank fasteners, washers, moly paste and Loctite.
Feuling Race Series edition kits include a Race Series
oiling system - billet 7075 oil pump, Race Series lifters,
and high-flow billet 7075 aluminum camplate. "The
Race Series aluminum oil pump, which is 50% harder
and stronger than the factory pump, holds tighter
tolerances under temperature and has deeper
scavenge kidney ports over the Feuling HP+ oil
pump for even more scavenge flow volume."
Race Series hydraulic lifters have a full .200" of total
travel, designed with a slower bleed-down rate to
handle heavy valve spring pressures, increase
engine rpm before valve float and feature increased
roller clearance for steep ramped camshafts and
clearance for the M-8 front exhaust camshaft lobe
flange.
The results include 30% more pressure gear volume,
53% more scavenge gear volume and 27% more
pressure and scavenge gear volume over stock for
M-Eight oil-cooled motors; 42% more scavenge
volume with port sizing, matched passages and holes
to the engine case, 68% more oil volume to the
crankshaft and connecting rod bearing, 15-25
degrees cooler engine temperatures, 15-30 degrees
cooler oil temperatures and 10-30 more PSI of oil
pressure for M-8 twin-cooled and oil-cooled motors.
Additional benefits include increased oil pressure,
scavenge volume and engine oil flow, quieter and
smoother engine operation and reduced wet
sumping, blow by and oily air cleaners. Magnets in
the oil pump help protect gears and pressure relief
valve.
Test results show +2 HP gain and +2 ft/lbs of TQ gain
to the rear wheel on M-8 engines and a 50%
reduction of engine sump oil level.
The Grim Reaper 508 grind cam will give aggressive
pulling power and deliver a satisfyingly 'nasty' sound,
performing exceptionally well in 114" and larger
cubic inch engines with added compression ratio. The
stock throttle body produces an excellent powerband,
and use of a high flow throttle body will increase peak
power numbers.
This camshaft revs up faster than the 521 grind,
sounds nastier and pulls harder, but is more difficult
to tune - a high flow exhaust system and air cleaner
is highly recommended for optimal performance.
High-lift valve springs are required, such as Feuling
Endurance BeeHive valve spring kits or high-load
valve springs (high-load requires the use of Feuling
Race Series lifters). Heavy-duty pushrods are also
highly recommended. Ported cylinder heads are not
required, but will complement the cam and add even
more pulling power throughout the range.
