SBC Oval Track Cam

The ELGIN SBC Oval Track Cam (E-1091-P) is a mechanical flat-tappet camshaft engineered specifically for small-block Chevy oval-track racing applications. This camshaft delivers lift of 0.504 inches on both intake and exhaust with duration of 287 degrees intake and 295 degrees exhaust, optimized for the demands of competitive oval-track competition where mid-range torque and sustained RPM stability are critical to lap consistency.

With a 111-degree lobe separation angle and effective RPM range from 3200 to 6500, this cam profile balances low-end response needed for track acceleration with peak power delivery across the competition band. The mechanical flat-tappet design is the industry standard for oval-track engines, requiring no hydraulic complexity while delivering the reliability and adjustability oval-track teams depend on between heats and feature races. Proper valve timing, lobe centerline, and rocker arm geometry are essential for maximum cam performance in your specific engine combination.

This camshaft is purpose-built for small-block Chevy dirt-track and asphalt-track racing platforms where proven, repeatable performance matters. Whether you're building a fresh engine package or refreshing an existing track combination, the ELGIN oval-track cam delivers the durability and predictable characteristics that keep you competitive throughout the season. Proper installation with correct pushrod length, rocker ratio verification, and full dyno validation ensures optimal results.
