Product Details

This COMP Cams CRH 285S-8 camshaft is a solid flat tappet design intended for street and strip use, specifically for Chrysler 426 HEMI engines. You get the camshaft itself, ready for installation. This camshaft is built for performance applications where a rough idle is acceptable and a higher stall speed torque converter or a four-speed manual transmission is used, typically requiring a 3200 RPM stall or higher.

Designed for the demanding nature of street/strip builds, this camshaft offers a 250 degrees of duration on both the intake and exhaust cycles. Its aggressive profile means it's not meant for daily drivers looking for quiet operation; expect a noticeable, rough idle. This is a well-built component from COMP Cams, a popular name in performance engine parts, and it's designed to work with the robust Chrysler 426 HEMI platform, found in vehicles like the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Plymouth Barracuda.

When installing this camshaft, remember it's designed for performance and requires supporting modifications like a higher stall torque converter or a four-speed transmission to operate effectively. It's a solid option for those building a powerful Mopar for track use or spirited driving.
