Choosing the proper camshaft for your Cadillac engine is extremely critical, as no other component creates as many variables as its cam. Horsepower, torque, economy, and driveability are all governed by your camshaft choice.
Installation of your cam is just as important as it takes the correct parts and information to get it right. Whether you are a novice or an accomplished engine builder, MTS is here to provide the "Cadillac Level of Service" you need and want. Our dedication and expertise with Cadillac engines comes to you as part of being a customer.
From our five tried and true MTS cams to our custom designs, MTS is the best place to come for your Cadillac Performance needs.
MTS #15 Series Grinds:
RPM range: 2200-5400/ Advertised duration range: 286-295* / Duration @ .050" range: 230-238* / Valve lift range: .520-.540".
Forget the stealth stuff now. The MTS #15 series cam will have a thump at idle, about 950 RPM.
This grind can produce 500 HP with 600 ft-lbs of torque.
Street use is not a problem as there is enough vacuum to run power brakes.
This cam has very strong mid-range power, to an even more impressive, huge top-end power band. Rev it up to 5200-5400 RPM in first gear, shift into second gear, and watch your left front fender yank right up from the torque.
This cam becomes an animal and has an awesome response to 150-200 hp shot of nitrous oxide (NOS).
RPM bands on the #15 grind are right at the edge, if not over the boundary of safety, for engines with stock connecting rods. Forged "H" beam rods are now preferred.
This is the maximum grind for the MTS S/S Spring Kit.
Aftermarket rocker assemblies are also necessary at this level of performance.
Ported heads are strongly recommended.
If you're going to pump up your motor to this kind of horsepower, you really need to make sure all of the components in your build can hold up to, and help promote, the performance of this cam.
#15 grinds work best with a 3.23 to 3.73 rear gear ratios.
