High-Performance VW Camshafts Optimized for 1.1:1 Rocker Arms
Achieving significant horsepower gains in an air-cooled engine doesn't always require a complex valvetrain overhaul. At Appletree Auto, we carry a specialized selection of VW high-lift camshafts designed for 1.1:1 rockers. These grinds are specifically engineered to provide aggressive lift and duration figures while utilizing your standard-ratio rocker arms, offering a cost-effective and reliable path to increased performance.
By choosing a camshaft ground specifically for 1.1:1 rockers, you simplify your engine build while still achieving the "breathing" capabilities needed for high-performance street or off-road use. We stock industry-standard grinds from legendary manufacturers like Engle, including the iconic W-series, which have been the backbone of winning VW engines for decades. Whether you are looking for the low-end torque of a W100 or the mid-range punch of a W110, these cams deliver proven results.
Our High-Lift Cam Selection Features:
Engineered for Standard Ratios: Designed to provide maximum valve lift without the added geometry complexities of 1.25:1 or 1.4:1 ratio rockers.
Proven Engle Performance: Home to the W-series grinds that offer a perfect balance of idle quality, vacuum, and power.
Broad Powerbands: Options available for everything from heavy VW campers needing low-end pull to lightweight sand rails seeking high-RPM scream.
Durable Construction: Precision-ground from high-quality babbitt or chilled cast iron to ensure long-term lobe life when used with proper lifters.
System Compatibility: Perfect for Type 1, 2, and 3 engines ranging from stock 1600cc builds to high-performance strokers.
