COMP Cams Camshaft CS 270H-R10

Starting with the Magnum 215/215 hydraulic roller camshaft, this COMP Cams part is designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines from 1958 through 2002. It offers mild street performance with a slightly noticeable lope at idle, making it a popular choice for drivers looking for a bit more character from their engine without sacrificing too much drivability. This camshaft is engineered to work with a stock torque converter, simplifying installation in many street applications.

To get the most out of this camshaft, you'll need to pair it with an aftermarket intake manifold and headers. A rear gear ratio between 3.40 and 4.10 is also recommended to optimize performance. For proper installation and longevity, this camshaft requires a thrust button and wear plate, often integrated into a suitable timing cover. It's important to note that high pressure and high volume fuel pumps will require bronze tip fuel pump pushrods, and OEM valve springs are not suitable. Additionally, this camshaft is optimized for use with a melanized or nitrided distributor gear; using cast or steel gears without similar surface treatments will void the warranty.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 305, and 400 cubic inches. It's a solid option for vehicles such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Caprice, and C10 trucks from the specified years. Remember to confirm your engine's specific configuration, especially regarding roller lifter provisions, as some later model blocks may require specific COMP hydraulic roller lifter kits or retro-fit link bar lifters if they were not originally equipped with roller components.
