If you're looking for more grunt off the line and a solid boost in low-end torque, the 268C / “Torker” is the cam that delivers. Perfect for street-driven 22R trucks or 4x4s that need real-world power, this cam is one of our top picks for daily drivers and trail rigs alike.
It’s a modern grind designed with fast ramp rates and high lift for its short duration — giving you strong torque, smooth idle, and great throttle response, all without sacrificing reliability or drivability.
 
🔧 Specs:
  • Advertised Duration: 268°
  • Duration @ .050: 218°
  • Lift: .425"
  • EFI Compatibility: ✅
  • Carb Compatibility: ✅
  • Valvetrain: Works with all stock components
 
✅ Why It Works:
  • Adds 8° of duration and .025" lift over stock
  • Strong low-end torque — ideal for 4x4s, street trucks, and daily drivers
  • Very quiet valvetrain operation
  • Compatible with EFI or carbureted setups
  • No need to upgrade valve springs or other components
  • Your go-to street cam for the Toyota 22R
 
This is my personal favorite street cam for a 22R — I’ve been grinding cams for 32 years, and if you’ve ever run an EPN camshaft, you already know the quality and feel.
 
🧠 Hand-Ground with 30+ Years of Experience
Each cam is made from a brand-new core and personally ground to spec in-house — no shortcuts, no imported blanks. Just proven performance and consistency built by a pro.
 
💡 Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) Options:
Every cam comes standard with a 110° LSA, but we give you the freedom to tailor it to your setup:
  • 108° LSA – Tighter lobe angle for more aggressive top-end power and a choppier idle
  • 110° LSA – Great all-around performer for street or trail (standard)
  • 112° LSA – Smooth idle, better vacuum, stronger low-end torque
  • 114° LSA – Great for boosted/EFI/towing builds and helps fuel efficiency for daily drivers
Just let us know your preference when ordering!
 
⚠️ Important:
All new Toyota 22RE camshafts require high-zinc oil (ZDDP) during break-in and for the life of the engine to protect the cam and valvetrain.

  • 🛠️ Installation Instructions

    REDLINE CAMS – Toyota 22R / 22RE Performance Camshaft

    ⚠️ Important Notes Before Installation

    • This camshaft is designed for Toyota 22R (carbureted) and 22RE (EFI) engines. (Demon camshaft may require tuning to run)

    • Valve lash must be set correctly for performance and durability:

      • Intake Lash: .007" (cold)

      • Exhaust Lash: .009" (cold)

    • Recommended ignition timing: ~18° BTDC, timing mark pointing just before the oil pump tab.

    • Always check piston-to-valve clearance when using high-lift cams.

    • Use high-zinc break-in oil for longevity and zinc oil for the life of the engine .

    🔧 Tools & Supplies Needed

    • Metric socket/wrench set

    • Torque wrench

    • Feeler gauges (.007 and .009)

    • Timing light

    • Assembly lube (moly-based)

    • Break-in oil with ZDDP

    • New REDLINE CAMS rocker arms and valve cover gaskets recommended 

    📖 Step 1 – Disassembly

    • Disconnect battery and drain coolant.

    • Remove valve cover, distributor, timing cover, and timing chain assembly.

    • Remove rocker arms and shafts (keep in order if reused).

    • Remove the old camshaft carefully.

    📖 Step 2 – Camshaft Installation

    • Coat new camshaft lobes and journals with assembly lube.

    • Carefully slide camshaft into place, avoiding bearing damage.

    • Reinstall timing chain, ensuring cam and crank timing marks are aligned.

      • If adjustable timing gear is used, degree the cam for accuracy.

    • Torque cam gear bolts to spec and reinstall timing cover.

    📖 Step 3 – Valvetrain Setup

    • Reinstall rocker shafts, arms, and pushrods.

    • Set valve lash (cold) with feeler gauges:

      • Intake: .007"

      • Exhaust: .009"

    • Rotate engine by hand and recheck lash for all valves.

    📖 Step 4 – Ignition Timing Setup

    • Reinstall distributo

    • Once engine is running, use timing light to set ignition timing to ~18° BTDC.

    📖 Step 5 – Startup & Break-In

    • Prime oil system before first start.

    • Start engine and bring to ~2,000 RPM for 20 minutes to ensure proper cam break-in.

    • Monitor oil pressure, coolant temperature, and listen for abnormal valvetrain noise.

    📖 Step 6 – Post-Install Checklist

    • Recheck and adjust valve lash after break-in.

    • Change oil and filter after 30 minutes of run time.

    • Verify ignition timing again (~18° BTDC).

    • For EFI (22RE): ECU tuning is optional but improves drivability with bigger cams. (Demon camshaft may require tuning to run)

    ✅ Your 22R/RE Performance Camshaft is now installed, delivering a lopey idle, stronger midrange, and improved top-end power.
