(July 7, 2004) - On the street or at the strip, Honda B-series VTEC owners can add muscle with Edelbrock's new camshafts. When used with the famous Edelbrock "Total Power Package," these camshafts can add up to 24 horsepower to B-series VTEC motors. The Total Power Package includes an Edelbrock manifold, throttle body and headers. The new camshafts - and sport compact Total Power Package - are now available. Ground from chilled iron and nitrided for long life, these camshafts (#4730) deliver a major improvement in throttle response and torque. Note: Edelbrock's B-series VTEC camshafts are not compatible with stock valve springs. However, Edelbrock's Titanium Retainer and Valve Spring Kit (#4737) provides the solution, with a titanium retainer for light weight and heavy-duty valve springs that can accommodate the extra lift and rpm derived by the new camshaft.
