What is the main difference between a solid lifter and a hydraulic lifter camshaft?

Solid lifter camshafts, like this COMP Cams CRS 273MM-8, require periodic adjustment of valve lash for optimal performance and longevity. They generally allow for higher engine speeds and more precise valve timing compared to hydraulic lifters, which self-adjust.

What kind of performance can I expect from this camshaft?

This camshaft is described as very aggressive for late model stock car racing. It's designed to provide a strong powerband suitable for oval track use, particularly in applications with shorter rods or larger tracks.

Does this camshaft come with all the necessary parts for installation?

This product is for the camshaft only. You will need to ensure you have compatible lifters, valve springs, pushrods, and other valvetrain components suitable for a solid lifter camshaft, as well as the correct installation hardware.

It’s a well-built component intended to give your Mopar engine a competitive edge on the track.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including models like the Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, and Chrysler Cordoba.
