Why did WORKS design 269 Power Cams?
The WORKS 269 Power Cams are unique in several aspects and underwent extensive R&D in order to bring a broad range of power to the table. Our goals included a near-stock idle while providing a good boost in overall power. WORKS Engineers were also after the goal of spreading the increased power over the entire powerband and not so interested in peak numbers. Other cams may show larger peak numbers, but also greater valleys and this translates into a drop off in power outside of peak area. We would much rather sacrifice a peak number in order to maintain useable power across the entire RPM spectrum. * Please keep in mind the 269 is a model designation. The 269 intake cam actually has different duration than the 269 exhaust cam and should be used as a matched set. This is also true of popular 264 intake and 264 exhaust cams as well as 272 intake and 272 exhaust cams. The notion of mixing and matching is a not recommended.
