Screaming Eagle's 203 camshaft, or cam, was produced for use with Harley-Davidson's Twin Cam 88 engine, released in 1998. A camshaft is a shaft in the engine to which the lobes (cams) are attached, which in turn operate the engine's valves.

Duration refers to how long the cam holds the valve open. The Screaming Eagle 203's intake duration is 234 degrees, its exhaust duration is 239 degrees, and its overlap is 35 degrees.


Lobe


The Screaming Eagle 203's intake lobe center is 99 degrees, its exhaust lobe center is 103 degrees, and its lobe separation angle is 100.8 degrees. The lobe separation angle is the relationship between the centerlines of the intake and the exhaust lobes.
