Stage 1-3 Cams
Wondering why there are different stage cams?
What does each one mean? Which cam would you recommend for that nice low lumpy sound we all love ? How does that work? More lump, valves are open longer? |

Bingo. There's not a value to each since every company has their own definition of each stage.

This is a generalization to help explain - not meant to be an exacting technical answer. The higher the lift (the 6xx numbers - opens the valves further) and/ or the duration ( the 2xx numbers - how long the valves are open in degrees) the more agressive ( more peak HP, the higher in the rpm band the power curve is , the greater likelyhood of low speed drivability issues) the cam tends to be. A good tuner can bend within reason any aftermarket cam's performance to tame some of the drivability concerns, give more lope at idle, maximize peak performance - etc.

under a 220 intake duration= Stage 1 221-229 intake duration=stage 2 230 and up= stage 3 the higher the intake duration the more power you can get. And the better it will sound, and less driveablity you will get. You have an A6 or M6?
