Description
The Engle W90 camshaft is a very mild street performance grind designed as a near-stock replacement for air-cooled VW Type 1 engines.

The W90 is ideal for stock or near-stock engines and daily drivers, especially where smooth operation and low-end power are prioritized over high RPM performance. Compatible with stock 1.1 ratio rockers and factory-style components.
