What is the recommended idle characteristic for this camshaft?

This CB 282S camshaft is a solid flat tappet design, which typically results in a rougher idle compared to hydraulic camshafts. It's intended for street machines where a noticeable performance idle is acceptable.

What other components are recommended for use with this camshaft kit?

For optimal performance, COMP Cams recommends using this kit with a torque converter rated for 2500 RPM or higher, headers, a compression ratio of 9:1 or greater, and lower gear ratios.

Does this camshaft kit come with everything needed for installation?

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. You will need to source other necessary installation components like gaskets and potentially valve springs separately.

Product Details

This COMP Cams kit gives you everything you need to get a new camshaft and lifters installed in your Chevrolet Big Block engine. Inside this box, you'll find the CB 282S camshaft, a set of matching lifters, assembly lube to help with the break-in process, and decals and instructions to guide you through the job. This kit is designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines, specifically the 396 through 454 cubic inch displacements, originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. It's a popular choice for street machines looking for a noticeable bump in performance.

The CB 282S camshaft is a solid flat tappet design, meaning it has a rougher idle compared to hydraulic cams, but it's well-suited for performance applications. To get the most out of this cam, COMP Cams recommends using a torque converter with a stall speed of 2500 RPM or higher, headers for better exhaust flow, a compression ratio of 9:1 or more, and lower gear ratios to help the engine get into its power band. This combination helps to make the most of the cam's improved breathing characteristics.

This kit is a solid option if you're looking to wake up your classic Chevrolet. Just remember that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures.
