COMP Cams Camshaft CB 286H-10

COMP Cams has been a well-known name in performance engine parts for a long time, and their Magnum series camshafts are a solid option for anyone looking to get more out of their engine without going overboard. This particular camshaft, the CB 286H-10, is designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines like the 396, 427, and 454, and it's a great choice for those who want improved performance over stock without the added wear and tear that can come with more radical cams.

This camshaft really shines when you've got a higher compression ratio, ideally 9.5:1 or more, and you're running an aftermarket torque converter with a stall speed of 2800 RPM or higher. It's built to deliver excellent power up in the higher RPM range, but it does so without being overly harsh on your valve train parts. For best results, pair it with mild ratio rocker arms and traditional performance valve springs. You'll notice a choppy idle with this cam, which is typical for this kind of performance upgrade.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, including models like the 1967-1975 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1967-1973 Chevrolet Chevelle, and 1966-1974 Chevrolet Corvette. Make sure you have headers and lower gears to really take advantage of the performance gains this camshaft offers.
