COMP Cams Camshaft CS 279Ma-S6

COMP Cams has a reputation for making solid performance engine components, and this CS 279Ma-S6 solid flat tappet camshaft is a great example of their work. This camshaft is designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines, specifically for builds aiming for higher performance, often in larger displacement applications from 377 to 410 cubic inches. It's a popular choice for those looking to improve their engine's breathing and power output, especially when paired with better intake manifolds, cylinder heads, headers, and carburetors.

This camshaft features a max area profile with 252 degrees of intake duration and 260 degrees of exhaust duration. It's recommended to use 1.65 to 1.7 ratio rocker arms with this cam to get the most out of its design. It fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327, but it's important to confirm your specific engine's configuration. This camshaft is intended for engines that use a flat tappet valvetrain; it does not fit factory roller camshaft blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LS-based engines.

For those building a classic Chevrolet, it's worth noting that 1955-1957 models with a 265 engine require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal. If your engine falls into this category, you'll need to contact us to ensure you get the correct camshaft. This camshaft is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to extract more performance from their Small Block Chevy.
