What other components are needed for this solid roller camshaft installation?

This camshaft requires the use of solid roller lifters, which are not included. You will also need to ensure your valve springs are compatible with the increased lift and duration of a solid roller setup. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required components.

What kind of compression ratio is recommended for this camshaft?

For optimal performance with this camshaft, a compression ratio of 11.5:1 or higher is recommended. This helps to maximize the power output and efficiency of the engine with this specific cam profile.

Is this camshaft suitable for street use?

This camshaft is specifically designed for high-performance applications such as marine use, mud racing, and bracket racing. While it may function in some street applications, its aggressive profile and requirements for solid roller lifters and high compression make it best suited for dedicated performance builds rather than daily driving.

Product Details

This COMP Cams CB 306A-R10 camshaft features a 270/280 degree duration split with a solid roller design, specifically intended for high-performance applications like marine use, mud racing, and bracket racing. It's built to work with Chevrolet Big Block engines of 454 cubic inches or larger, requiring a minimum of 11.5:1 compression. This camshaft is designed to be easy on other engine components while delivering improved performance in demanding environments.

The solid roller lifter design means you get more aggressive valve lift and duration compared to flat tappet cams, allowing for better airflow and power. This particular grind, the CB 306A-R10, is a popular choice for hydro applications with a B impeller, providing the necessary torque and RPM range for boats. It's also well-suited for bracket racing where consistent performance and durability are key. COMP Cams has engineered this camshaft to handle the stresses of these types of motorsports, making it a solid option for serious builders.

When installing this camshaft, remember it's designed for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, but you'll need to upgrade to solid roller lifters and potentially valve springs to match. It's intended for use in engines 454 cubic inches and larger, and works best with 11.5:1 or higher compression ratios. 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.
