It’s no secret that we’re big fans of the Gen. 3 Hemi engine around here—specifically the Eagle and Apache series. So when someone tells us that there’s a nice lineup of camshafts for the 2009+ 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L Mopar Gen. III Hemi, we want to hear more.
And that’s precisely what the Summit Racing folks have up their sleeves.
Its Pro Hemi Camshafts are precision ground in the USA from high-quality bearing steel billet cores and finished on modern Landis CNC grinders. Better yet, Summit Racing offers an impressive mix of styles and profiles to suit pretty much every need from the Gen. 3 Hemi community—from removing MDS on stock engines to building big power on high-RPM racing engines.
Here’s a good look at the current lineup of Summit Racing™ Pro Hemi Camshafts:

Summit Racing Pro Hemi Non-MDS Camshafts
The stock multiple displacement system on certain Gen. 3 Hemi engines can be, in a word, problematic—we’ve heard stories of repeated lifter failures, misfire codes, and valvetrain noise from failing MDS components.
But a Summit Racing Pro Hemi Non-MDS Camshaft goes a lot way towards remedying that. They are available individually or in Summit Racing Gen III Hemi MDS Delete Kits that include lifters, gaskets, and all the other components you’ll need to completely remove MDS from your vehicle’s engine.
You can get all the details on an MDS delete in this story on OnAllCylinders, or you can learn more in this quick video:
