If you’re chasing more horsepower, torque, or responsiveness from your engine, a camshaft upgrade is one of the most effective ways to transform performance. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of your engine’s intake and exhaust valves, which directly impacts air and fuel flow — and ultimately, how much power your engine can produce. At Carline Automotive & Exhaust Cranbourne, we offer precision camshaft upgrades and engine tuning for enthusiasts, performance drivers, and anyone looking to breathe new life into their vehicle.

What Does a Camshaft Upgrade Do?
Your factory camshaft is designed for a balance of fuel economy, emissions, and reliability — not necessarily peak performance. Upgrading your camshaft changes the valve timing, lift, and duration, which allows more air and fuel into the combustion chamber — especially at higher RPMs. The result? More power, better throttle response, and a noticeable difference in how your engine sounds and performs. Benefits of a performance camshaft upgrade include: Increased horsepower and torque, Improved throttle response, Greater top-end performance or low-end torque (based on cam design), Enhanced engine note and idle characteristics.
