8' Race Cable

The B and M AUTOMOTIVE 8' Race Cable (SKU: BMM80834) is a purpose-built shifter cable engineered for high-performance racing and street applications where precision throttle or shift control is critical. Designed for drivers and engine builders who demand reliability under extreme conditions, this cable delivers the responsive feedback and durability required in competition environments. Whether you're running a drag strip build, road course setup, or high-horsepower street machine, this heavy-duty cable ensures consistent actuation without lag or creep.

This 8-foot race cable features a steel core wrapped in a plastic liner that resists corrosion and friction while maintaining smooth operation over thousands of cycles. The 2-1/2 inch stroke provides full-range actuation for most transmission and throttle applications, while threaded and eyelet end fittings offer flexible mounting to both engine bay brackets and pedal assemblies. The red jacket provides visibility during installation and allows quick verification of cable routing during maintenance. The 1.7 lb weight and compact 15.8 x 1.6 x 15.9 inch dimensions make this cable suitable for tight engine compartments without compromising on strength or control feel.

Mechanics and fabricators favor B&M race cables for manual transmission conversions, carbureted engine swaps, and custom throttle linkage builds where OEM cables fall short. The threaded and eyelet terminations accommodate both rod-style and cable-actuated mechanisms, making this an ideal choice for non-standard applications. Installation requires basic hand tools and knowledge of cable routing best practices to avoid kinks or binding. This cable is sold individually, so verify your total run length and consider purchasing additional sections if your application exceeds the 8-foot length.
