COMP Cams Camshaft CS 269Qio8

When you're rebuilding or upgrading a Chevrolet Small Block engine, a camshaft is one of the most critical components to get right. This COMP Cams CS 269Qio84Pt camshaft is a hydraulic roller type, designed for a wide power range and specifically recommended for smaller displacement engines that have very good cylinder heads. It's a popular choice for applications needing an 1800+ RPM stall speed torque converter.

This camshaft features a 4-pattern design with intake duration of 217 degrees and exhaust duration of 229 degrees at 0.050 inch lift, and lobe separation of 110 degrees. It's intended for use with retro-fit link bar hydraulic roller lifters, which offer improved durability and reduced friction compared to flat tappet designs. COMP Cams is well-known for its camshafts, and this one is built to provide a significant improvement in your engine's performance, especially in the mid-to-upper RPM range.

This camshaft fits a wide variety of Chevrolet Small Block engines from 1958 through 2002, covering displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches. It's important to verify if your specific engine block is a factory roller or a flat tappet design, as this camshaft is designed for flat tappet blocks or blocks that have been converted to roller lifters. Engines built from 1985 and newer may have come with factory roller setups, and this cam is not compatible with those or with LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, ensure there is a groove on the 5th cam journal for proper oiling.
