The cam
lobe profile selected for engine speeds below 3000 rpm has a duration of 214 degrees and lifts the valves 5.5 mm.
Valve float is an adverse condition which can occur at high engine speeds when the poppet valves in an internal combustion engine valvetrain do not properly follow the closure phase of the cam
lobe profile.
I love BB creams and have been cam
lobe profile catalog an expanded listing of all crane cams lobe profiles for professional racing engine builders
This design allows for variable valve timing as well, since the cam
lobe profiles can be made different.
Gen V Cams feature four different
lobe profiles to both create AFM compatibility and optimize intake and exhaust valve opening / closing events.

The high -
profile camshaft
lobe which normally contacts the secondary exhaust rocker arm alone during low - RPM engine operation is able to move both exhaust rocker arms together which are locked as a unit.
By moving the pins, the intake valve rocker arms can follow one of two
lobes on the camshaft (normal or high
profile).
In basic form, the single cam
lobe and follower / rocker arm of a conventional engine is replaced with a locking multi-part rocker arm and two cam
profiles: one optimized for low - RPM stability and fuel efficiency, and the other designed to maximize high - RPM power output.
The primary exhaust rocker arm contacts a low -
profile camshaft
lobe during low - RPM engine operation.
The same occurs for the intake rocker shaft, except that the high -
profile camshaft
lobe operates the primary rocker arm.
The camshafts on some Ferrari engines are cut with a three - dimensional
profile that varies along the length of the cam
lobe.
At one end of the cam
lobe is the least aggressive cam
profile, and at the other end is the most aggressive.
The low
profile supercharger design incorporates Eaton's TVS ® (Twin Vortices Series) rotors with 4
lobes and a 160 - degrees of twist, which optimizes airflow and produces consistent peak efficiency.
As the engine load changes, electromagnetic actuators allow a movable shaft containing different cam
lobes to shift imperceptibly between high - lift and low - lift
profiles.
