If the importance of one or more of these parameters is reduced, the camshaft can be designed to function better in the remaining parameters. Racing camshafts offer a substantial power increase at high rpm. Engine idle at low rpm is not possible anymore. Sport camshafts
inrease the valve lift, valve opening duration and the inlet/outlet valve overlap. This improves the cylinder filling at high rpm. Engine idle at low rpm becomes erratic, due to the mixing of intake air and exhaust gasses. (see: “Which camshafts are good for Streettuning?” and “What is the Swingboost effect?
