The installation of a performance camshaft will increase performance by altering the valve timing. The performance diesel camshaft will allow a greatly improved transfer of gasses into and out of the combustion chamber. If you look at the diesel engine as a modified pump. Your engines efficiency is based on how much fuel and air it can move in and out of it. The greater the flow into the cylinder and out of the cylinder the more power it will make. Allowing more air flow and fuel into the motor the greater the power output will become. This is the main design principal behind installing an aftermarket high performance camshaft. Performance increasing camshafts provide a longer duration and more lift allowing more air into the cylinder to make more power. Cam shafts come in different profiles to meet your specific demands. Combining a cam shaft with a cold air intake, improved exhaust and intake manifolds will provide a dramatic increase in power for your diesel engine. KLM Performance also recommends installing better valves, retainers, and valve springs while you are in there for further performance gains.
