Camshaft Set for S50/S52 Engines

The Schrick E36 M3 cam set offers a budget-friendly approach to enhancing internal engine performance, building on Schrick's decades of expertise in BMW valve train components. This set is engineered to optimize head flow and deliver significant power gains, particularly noticeable above 5,000 RPM, while minimizing the loss of low-end torque and maintaining a smooth idle. When combined with proper engine tuning, these camshafts are ideal for maximizing peak power on S50/S52 engines. Key specifications include an Intake Lobe Duration of 264°, an Exhaust Lobe Duration of 256°, an Intake Valve Lift of 10.5mm, and an Exhaust Valve Lift of 10.4mm. The valve timing figures (IO-IC: 6-78 46-38, EO-EC: 62-14 39-37) and lift at TDC are precisely detailed for performance tuning. While new valve springs may not always be necessary, it is crucial to ensure that the increased valve lift does not fully compress the existing springs, potentially requiring shimming of the spring's installed height. Choosing the correct camshaft is dependent on individual engine specifications and performance goals. More aggressive camshafts like this set should be paired with appropriate air and fuel system upgrades to fully realize their potential. Professional installation is a requirement for this product.
