Product Details
If you're building a Chevrolet Small Block for short track racing, especially on 3/8 to short 1/2 mile courses with high corner speeds, this COMP Cams CS 280Tl-6 camshaft is a solid option. It's designed for engines in the 350-377 cubic inch range with open rules, offering good torque to help you get through the corners.
This is a tight lash solid flat tappet camshaft, meaning it requires careful adjustment of valve lash for optimal performance. The 250/254 duration at 0.050 inch lift is a popular spec for this type of racing, providing a noticeable bump in power and torque over stock cams. It's built to COMP Cams' standards, ensuring it can handle the demands of competitive driving.
This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks, including popular displacements like the 350 and 400. However, it's important to verify your specific engine setup. It does not fit factory roller camshaft blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines. Also, be aware that 1955-1957 models require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, which this particular camshaft does not have. If you're unsure about your block's configuration, it's best to check the timing cover or intake manifold area before ordering.
