Do the “street engines” cause excessive idle issues and/or power brake issues because of the high-performance camshafts? And why use them in the first place?
Not typically. We use the RV and Hemi-grind hydraulic camshafts for a couple reasons. The first is performance. These cams offer better performance than the stock cam the engine originally had while not being so radical that it causes vacuum problems with power brakes or idles ridiculously high at a stoplight. The second reason these cams are used in our baseline engine packages is price. The cost of an RV or MP Purple Shaft hydraulic cam & lifter kit is about the same as the stock replacement, so this gives the customer better performance for the same price.
