What is the intended use for this camshaft and lifter kit?

This kit is intended for limited high-performance street use. It's designed to provide an improvement in power for your Chevrolet 4.3L V6 engine, but it's not recommended for daily driving where a smooth, quiet idle is prioritized.

What other modifications are recommended when installing this camshaft?

To maximize the performance gains from this camshaft, it's recommended to upgrade your intake system, install headers, and use a rear gear ratio between 3.73 and 4.10. A torque converter rated for 2500 RPM or higher is also necessary.

Does this kit come with everything needed for installation?

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube for proper break-in, and decals. You will need to source other components such as intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets, and potentially other related engine parts separately.

Product Details

This COMP Cams hydraulic roller camshaft and lifter kit features a 224/224 duration profile, making it suitable for limited high-performance street applications. It's designed for Chevrolet's 262 cubic inch (4.3L) V6 engines originally equipped with an OE roller camshaft, specifically those without a balance shaft. Expect a mild rough idle with this setup, which is typical for performance cams of this nature. To get the most out of this kit, you'll want to pair it with an upgraded intake system, headers, and a rear gear ratio in the 3.73 to 4.10 range, along with a torque converter rated for 2500 RPM or higher.

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine building, and this kit is a solid option for those looking to add some power to their V6. It's important to note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new camshaft and lifters.
