Product Highlights

Available Camshaft Options
• Ward Performance WP475 Drop-In M8 Camshaft – Balanced Torque & Drop-In Ease
A great entry performance cam: bolt-in convenience with strong torque from ~2,500 RPM and an aggressive lopey idle for spirited street riding. Ideal for riders seeking broader power with everyday usability.
• WP550-M8 Camshaft – Big Bore Power Machine
The original big-bore cam designed for 124–132 ci engines. It holds the revs longer and delivers serious horsepower from ~3,000 RPM up, perfect for builds with high compression and performance intake/exhaust.
• WP580-M8 Camshaft – Low-End Punch & Midrange Torque
Shifts the WP550’s output even lower in the rev range for instant roll-on power. Great for large-bore baggers or crate motor setups craving broad torque with a strong midrange pull.
• WP586v2-M8 Camshaft – Balanced Performance Upgrade
Optimized for improved throttle response and power delivery across the RPM band — ideal if you want a noticeable performance increase without going to the most aggressive profiles.
• WP610-M8 Camshaft – Higher Lift, Maximum Response
A serious performer for riders targeting the upper end of the powerband. This cam raises valve lift and timing for heightened performance — especially on high-compression, high-RPM builds.
• WP143 & WP143S-M8 Cams – Race-Oriented Profiles
For large-displacement and race builds, these high-lift, high-duration cams push performance into the top end, unlocking horsepower in the higher RPM range.
