Product Details

If you're building a street machine with a Small Block Chevy and want a noticeable bump in performance, this COMP Cams Magnum 230/230 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft is a solid choice. It's designed for engines with factory roller camshafts, commonly found in many '87 and later GEN 1 Chevrolet 305-350 cubic inch engines. This camshaft is a significant upgrade over stock, intended for those looking to get more out of their engine, especially when paired with headers and an aluminum intake manifold.

This camshaft features a 230-degree intake and 230-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, which is a popular profile for street performance. It requires a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed to take full advantage of its powerband. Be aware that this camshaft is designed for performance, and you should expect a rougher idle compared to a stock camshaft. The hydraulic roller design means it's built for durability and reduced friction compared to flat tappet cams, contributing to its performance potential.

This COMP Cams camshaft is a well-built component that can make a real difference in your engine's character. It's a popular option for enthusiasts looking to build a powerful street-driven vehicle. Remember to consult your engine's specific service manual for installation details and ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications, like a higher stall converter and free-flowing exhaust, to maximize its benefits.
