Engle W130 Camshaft 419 Lift 308 Duration 108 Lobe Center

Description

The Engle W130 camshaft is an aggressive high-performance grind designed for maximum top-end power in air-cooled VW Type 1 engines typically in the 1915cc - 2332cc+ range. It delivers strong high RPM performance with a rough idle and reduced low-end torque, making it best suited for high rpm engines or very aggressive street builds. The W130 requires extensive supporting modifications and performs best with high-flow cylinder heads, dual carburetors, and a fully upgraded valvetrain.
