{"product_id":"schrick-268-sport-camshaft-set","title":"Schrick 268 Sport Camshaft Set","description":"The BimmerWorld Schrick 268 Sport Camshaft Set is engineered to significantly enhance the top-end performance of the BMW S62 engine, specifically for the E39 M5 and Z8 models. By adopting a more aggressive profile, these camshafts promote superior airflow through the cylinder heads at higher RPMs. This strategic modification shifts the engine's power band upward, delivering noticeable power gains in the upper rev range, contrasting with the stock engine's tendency to lose power past 4,000 RPM.\n\nEach camshaft in this set boasts a 268° intake and exhaust lobe duration, coupled with a 11.3mm intake and exhaust valve lift. This increased lift ensures valves open more deeply and for longer durations, optimizing flow. The product description highlights that these cams are compatible with headers and larger throttle bodies, and contribute to improved throttle response. While there may be a slight reduction in low-end torque, the substantial increase in high-RPM power is the primary benefit.\n\nInstallation of these Schrick camshafts is generally straightforward, often considered a drop-in replacement for the original stock cams. However, it is noted that some cylinder heads may require minor machining to ensure adequate clearance for the cam lobes due to potential inconsistencies in BMW's foundry tolerances. It is also advised that while new valve springs might not be necessary, it's crucial to verify that the increased valve lift does not fully compress the existing springs. Shimming the spring's installed height might be required. The product is manufactured in Germany.\n\nThis camshaft set is intended for off-road use and competition. It is sold for racing, competition, track, hobby, or other off-road use only and is not legal for installation or use on any pollution-controlled motor vehicle in California or any state or jurisdiction that has adopted CARB or EPA regulations.","brand":"BimmerWorld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687131541816,"sku":"Schrick-Sport-Cams-S62","price":3575.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661663013.jpg?v=1784880693","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/schrick-268-sport-camshaft-set","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
