COMP Cams Camshaft CBVI Tri-Power Xtreme 246HR-16

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet or GMC Big Block Gen VI engine, a camshaft upgrade is a solid way to change its personality. This COMP Cams Tri-Power Xtreme camshaft is a hydraulic roller design, meaning it uses roller lifters to reduce friction and allow for more aggressive lobe profiles compared to flat tappet cams. This translates to better airflow and more power.

The 194/206 duration at .050 inch lift is a popular choice for street-driven vehicles that see a lot of use. It offers a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall power without making the engine too choppy at idle or difficult to manage. This camshaft is designed to work with the factory hydraulic roller valvetrain found in Gen VI Big Block engines, making installation more straightforward than a conversion from a flat tappet setup. It's a well-built component from a well-known name in performance camshafts, designed to handle the demands of a performance street engine.

This camshaft fits a range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans from the mid-to-late 90s, including models like the C2500 Suburban, K3500, and Express 3500. While it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California, it's a strong option for builders looking for improved performance in eligible vehicles. You'll want to ensure your valve springs are up to the task for this camshaft's lift profile; COMP Cams typically recommends their matching spring kits for optimal performance and reliability.
