Performance Camshafts - Triumph 6 Cylinder

All of the recommendations listed are with the proviso that the Triumph 6 engine must be allowed to breath first and not change the cam profile until at least some initial improvements are made. We recommend for all models that an Extractor manifold and GT system are fitted first.

For 2 litre models and 2.5 litre carburettor models we also recommend that Twin HS6 carburettors and K&N air filters are fitted. The first stage of conversion will improve the flow through the engine to improve the power within the standard rev range although this will also be extended. We also recommend the addition of a gas flowed cylinder head for all models to give worthwhile improvement in torque.

The cam profiles could be fitted earlier but the benefit will not be felt until the modifications above are installed. The change of camshaft profile will alter the power range further up the rev range, but the tractability will be improved by the correct matching of the engine components. The cam profile will always be more ‘peaky’ when used in 2 engines against 2.5L.  Its worthwhile to note that after the Road 83 profile, the metering unit may require attention to the fuel supply, this can only be carried out on the car and with a rolling road.

All camshafts listed with the suffix 'N' are new, made from chill cast iron, eliminating problems resulting from regrinding worn old camshafts.

New cam followers should be fitted when replacing the camshaft. You will also need Cam Lube (KEN2) and a camshaft timing disc (TT2929).
