Common questions
What's the difference between the 544 and other Chris Rivas cams?
The 544 is the most aggressive cam profile offered by Chris Rivas for the Milwaukee-Eight, specifically designed for big-inch, high-compression builds. Lower-numbered cams like the 444, 464, and 474 are less aggressive and suited for different applications.
Do I need high-lift valve springs with this cam?
Yes, due to its aggressive lobe profile and higher lift, the Chris Rivas 544 camshaft requires the use of high-lift valve springs to ensure proper valve train operation and prevent damage.
Will this cam work with stock cylinder heads?
While it may function, the Chris Rivas 544 cam is optimized for ported cylinder heads to fully realize its performance potential. For best results, pair this cam with heads that can flow enough air to support its aggressive profile.
