COMP Cams Camshaft CS 281Qio8

This COMP Cams CS 281Qio84Pt camshaft features a 4-pattern lobe design with 229 degrees of intake duration and 239 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 lift. This hydraulic roller camshaft is specifically designed for Small Block Chevrolet engines built after 1987 that use a factory roller camshaft setup, excluding LT-1 and LS1 variants. It's a well-regarded choice for street applications where you've modified your engine and are running a torque converter with a 2500+ stall speed or a manual transmission.

The 229/239 duration profile is balanced for a wide range of street performance, offering a noticeable improvement in power without being overly aggressive for daily driving. Its hydraulic roller design means less friction and more efficient operation compared to flat tappet cams, contributing to better performance and longevity. This camshaft is intended for modified engines, so it pairs well with other upgrades to maximize its potential. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When installing this camshaft, ensure you have the correct valve springs and pushrods to match the cam's specifications for optimal performance and reliability. It's designed to fit a broad spectrum of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and various C/K series trucks from the late 80s through the mid-90s, as well as other GM vehicles from that era equipped with the appropriate Small Block Chevy engine.
