COMP Cams Camshaft CB 292H-10

Starting with a hydraulic flat tappet design, this COMP Cams Magnum camshaft is built for Chevrolet Big Block engines like the 396, 427, and 454. It's a well-known grind that offers a noticeable step up in performance from your factory camshaft, but without the aggressive nature that can lead to premature wear on your valvetrain components. This makes it a solid option for street/strip applications where you want more power, especially in engines with a 9.5:1 or higher static compression ratio and a torque converter with a 3000+ RPM stall speed. It’s designed to work well with mild ratio rocker arms and traditional performance valve springs, delivering strong high-RPM power.

This camshaft is a popular choice for performance builds that also need to manage compression, making it ideal for engines running 10:1 or higher compression. For best results, it pairs well with an aftermarket intake manifold, a 4.10 or lower gear ratio in the rear end, and a 4-speed manual transmission or a torque converter rated for 3000+ RPM. Expect a rough idle with this camshaft, which is typical for performance grinds of this nature. It fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, including models like the 1967-1975 Chevrolet Impala, 1967-1973 Chevrolet Chevelle, and 1967-1972 Chevrolet Camaro.
