Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for performance valvetrain components, and this Magnum 243/243 solid roller camshaft, part number 20-701-9, is a prime example of their expertise. This camshaft is designed for Chrysler LA engines, specifically fitting the 273, 318, 340, and 360 cubic inch V8s. It's a mechanical roller camshaft, which means it's built for higher performance and durability compared to flat tappet designs, making it a strong choice for those looking to push their engine's capabilities.

This camshaft is particularly well-suited for street/strip applications. For optimal performance, it's recommended for engines with a compression ratio between 9.5:1 and 10:1. You'll also want to pair it with a torque converter that has a stall speed around 3500 RPM and an aftermarket intake manifold topped with a 750+ CFM carburetor. The 243 degrees of intake and exhaust duration at .050 lift provides a good balance for street drivability while still offering significant performance gains for track use. This camshaft is a solid option for building a potent Mopar small-block.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it is a solid roller type, which requires specific lifters and potentially different valve springs than a flat tappet camshaft. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on proper setup and break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new valvetrain.
