Product Details

This COMP Cams hydraulic roller camshaft features a 4-pattern lobe design with 241/251 degrees of intake and exhaust duration at .050 lift, and 243/253 degrees at .050 lift for the outer lobes. It's specifically designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines ranging from 396 to 502 cubic inches, and it's a solid choice for street/strip applications. To get the most out of this cam, you'll want to pair it with good cylinder heads and a compression ratio of 9.5:1 or higher. It's also best suited for setups using a torque converter with a 3000+ stall speed or a manual transmission.

The hydraulic roller design means you get improved performance and durability compared to older flat tappet designs, as the roller lifters reduce friction and wear. This particular camshaft is well-suited for engines in the 454 to 502 cubic inch range, offering a noticeable improvement in power band for performance-oriented builds. It's a popular choice for those looking to extract more power from their BBC without going to an extreme setup.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, including models like the 1967-1975 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1967-1972 Chevrolet Camaro, and 1967-1974 Chevrolet Corvette. Ensure your engine meets the compression and head requirements for optimal performance. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
