Racer Brown Menu

Racer Brown was a licensed mechanical engineer and was once technical editor for hot rod magazine. Racer Brown cams are standard part numbers for Mopar, Nissan Competition Department and others. Grab yourself a stubby, get comfortable and read into the fascinating world of Datsun and other engine valve train operation. Once read a couple of times you will likely understand more about camshafts, valve train geometry and the things affecting them than most of your mates and some automotive engineers as well.

Datsport has been extremely fortunate to be permitted to reproduce what is widely recognised at being the best article ever written on camshafts and their operation. We thank Racer Brown Incorporated for this opportunity.
