You've no doubt heard people mention what cam they're running or what ratio rockers they might have and wondered to yourself just what those items did and how replacing them helped the engine make more power. We're here to explain in a very basic, very non-scientific way. If you're new to engines this will help you understand how these components tie into your overall setup.
Q. How do high lift rockers/ aftermarket cams make more power?
A. To understand this one must first understand that an engine is basically a large air pump. The more air you can get in and then out, the more power you make. This is why devices like superchargers (get more air in) and headers (get more air out) make such a large impact on horsepower levels.
