INSTRUCTIONS

• PLEASE study these instructions carefully before installing your new camshaft. If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to call our

Technical Hotline at: 1-800-416-8628.

• CAMSHAFT: Edelbrock Performer-Plus camshafts are ground specifically for use with the corresponding Performer manifold on engines operat-

ing between idle and 5500 rpm. The Performer 5.0 EFI manifold #3821 and Performer-Plus hydraulic roller lifter camshaft #3722 are designed to

work as a team to give you better driveability and street performance. They are dyno-matched and street-proven. For best results, use the

Edelbrock manifold/camshaft package with the Throttle Body/EGR Plate and headers we recommend. The Performer-Plus hydraulic roller lifter

camshafts are designed for use with stock or Edelbrock Performer aluminum cylinder heads. Edelbrock Performer-Plus cam #3722 is street legal

in all 50 states, E.O. #D-215-14.

NOTE: Maximum performance is achieved only when the Edelbrock Performer 5.0 EFI Power Package components are used with the following

equipment:

•

Performer 5.0 EFI manifold/camshaft/timing set/valve springs

•

Edelbrock/BBK 70mm Throttle Body #3825 and EGR Plate #3828

Mustang LX)

• IMPORTANT: This instruction sheet provides general installation guidelines which can affect your warranty. Read it carefully. It is not our intent

to cover each detail of installation here; a step-by-step procedure manual would be far too lengthy. We want to caution you that installing a

camshaft is a complicated procedure that requires a good general knowledge of automotive engines. If you are not confident that you can com-

plete the camshaft installation successfully, we suggest you consider having it installed by an experienced mechanic.

CAUTION: Improper installation will result in LOW MILEAGE, POOR PERFORMANCE, COSTLY REINSTALLATION, and ENGINE DAMAGE.

TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:

Carefully study and understand all instructions.

Examine the camshaft for possible shipping damage (if damaged contact your dealer immediately).
