COMP Cams Camshaft CS 283Tkb-R6

If you're building a Chevrolet Small Block for oval track racing, especially for 3/8 to 1/2 mile tracks with a 355-406 cubic inch engine, this COMP Cams CS 283Tkb-R6 camshaft is designed to give you a strong top-end power band. It’s a solid roller camshaft, which means it uses roller lifters to reduce friction and allow for more aggressive lobe profiles compared to flat tappet cams. This translates to better performance and durability for demanding racing conditions.

This camshaft is optimized for use with Melanized or Nitrided distributor gears. Using cast iron or steel distributor gears without these surface treatments can cause premature wear and will void the warranty. It's important to verify your engine's setup to ensure compatibility. This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350 and 400, but it's crucial to check your specific engine's factory roller or flat tappet configuration, especially for models from the mid-80s onward. Early 1955-1957 265ci engines also have specific oiling groove requirements that need to be confirmed.

This is a serious piece of equipment for dedicated racers looking to maximize their engine's performance on the track. Ensure you have the correct distributor gear and have confirmed your engine's factory configuration before installation to get the most out of this camshaft and maintain your warranty.
