Product Details

This COMP Cams 288A-R8 solid roller camshaft is built with a 251/260 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 lift, making it a strong choice for puller, mud race, and oval track applications. It's specifically recommended for Chevrolet Big Block engines ranging from 396 to 454 cubic inches, especially those originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. The design focuses on delivering strong torque while being easy on other engine components, making it a popular option for short track racing on 1/4 to 3/8 mile circuits.

The solid roller design means you'll get more aggressive valve lift and duration compared to a flat tappet setup, which translates to better airflow and more power. COMP Cams has engineered this cam to be a straightforward upgrade for engines that are already set up for or can be converted to solid roller lifters. This camshaft is a well-built component designed for demanding use where consistent performance and durability are key. It's a solid option for builders looking to extract more power from their Big Block Chevy.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles, including popular models like the 1967-1975 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1967-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, and 1967-1974 Chevrolet Corvette, among many others. When installing a solid roller camshaft, it's important to ensure you have the correct valve springs, lifters, and pushrods to match the cam's specifications for optimal performance and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance.
