What is the difference in performance of a Twin Cam engine and a regular automobile engine--more power? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
There are a tremendous number of variables which can affect engine power. Generally, though, a twin cam engine (e.g., one cam for exhaust valves and one cam for intake valves) allows for higher rpm design for an engine. Higher RPM usually translates to more HP and/or more torque, which is the important thing.
A V-8 would use 4 cams, two for each bank.
