Thumbs up HPF E46 M3 Cams Anyone? Let's Get To 1100rwhp, 1200rwhp AND BEYOND

Yes, we are now starting on the design of HPF cams. We have done several M3's that make slightly more than 1,000 rwhp. We are now looking beyond 1,000rwhp. So it's time we start developing cams that are specifically designed for our turbo systems.

The head design uses a follower between the valve and cam which allows for very aggressive valvetrain geometry. The lope shape can literally have a negative radius of curvature (peanut shaped on one side). So we are looking at some bucks here, but I'm sure there will be tons of interest. In the Supra world, it's the next mod when you go single because it adds so much power. Of course the BMW E46 M3 cams are considerably more aggressive than the 2JZ GTE cams of the Supra.

Chris.
