What type of lifters does this camshaft use?

This COMP Cams camshaft is designed for hydraulic flat tappet lifters. It's important to verify your engine's block has provisions for flat tappet lifters, as some later model Small Blocks came with roller lifter provisions.

Will this camshaft work with my 1990 Chevrolet 350 engine?

For 1990 Chevrolet 350 engines, you will need to confirm if your block has provisions for roller lifters or if it uses a factory flat tappet setup. This camshaft is intended for flat tappet applications. If your block is a roller, you would need a different camshaft.

What kind of performance improvement can I expect with this camshaft?

This camshaft is noted as a good upgrade for turbo-charged street engines, aiming to provide improved mid-range power. This means you should feel a stronger pull in the RPM range where you'll be doing most of your driving.

Product Details

COMP Cams has a reputation for building solid performance engine components, and this CS 268Th-15B/T camshaft is a great example. It's designed as a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft specifically for Chevrolet Small Block engines, fitting a wide range of applications from 1958 through 2002. This cam is a popular choice for turbo-charged street engines, aiming to give you a noticeable boost in mid-range power without sacrificing too much drivability.

When you're looking to wake up your engine, especially one that's set up for boost, this camshaft can make a real difference. It's built to work with the factory flat tappet lifter setup common in many Gen 1 Small Blocks, though it's important to check your specific engine's configuration, as some later models may have provisions for roller lifters. The 218/212 degree intake/exhaust duration is tuned for that sweet spot in the RPM range where you'll feel the most benefit during everyday driving and spirited runs.

This camshaft is a well-built upgrade for your Chevy Small Block, offering improved performance for boosted street applications. Remember to consult your engine's specific build details to ensure compatibility with flat tappet lifters, or explore COMP Cams' roller options if your block is equipped for them.
