Camshafts

The right cam choice can make the difference between a bike that performs well or fails to perform. V Thunder cams provide the ultimate in arm-stretching, white knuckle power in both street and competitive applications. Most cam designers concentrate on getting the most power in a particular RPM range and disregard valve train clatter and power band width. The designers at V Thunder pay particular attention to ramp design to keep our cams as quiet as possible and lobe design to maintain as wide a power band as possible. V Thunder cams are made from 6150 aircraft quality steel for best longevity and resistance to early cam failure from metal fatigue. We heat treat our cams to provide a case depth that allows for long term use under the severest of loads. With the aid of computer controlled machining centers, V Thunder cams are held to extremely precise tolerances. Backed by hundreds of hours on the Dyno and on-bike testing, our power proven cams provide added punch for all levels of performance needs and riding styles for Evolution and Shovel engines. Our cams provide the longevity and valve train integrity youve come to expect with Harley Davidson. Made in the U.S.A. with American steel, our cams are packaged in full color high-strength boxes complete with detailed installation instructions. V Thunder by COMP Cams also offers a one-off special cam grind service. Why do we do all these things? Easy . . . We want you to be happy with our products!!!
