COMP Cams Camshaft CS 288A-R6 .900 Bc

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components, and this CS 288A-R6 Solid Roller Camshaft is built for serious racing applications. This camshaft is specifically designed for Oval Track racing, offering a 252/258 degree duration split and a .900 lift profile, making it a strong choice for heavy cars with smaller displacement engines on short tracks. It’s engineered to work with Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 up to 400 cubic inches.

This camshaft is a solid roller type, which generally allows for more aggressive profiles and higher lift than hydraulic rollers or flat tappet cams. It's optimized for use with a Melanized or Nitrided distributor gear to ensure proper wear and longevity; using cast or steel gears without these surface treatments will void the warranty. It's important to verify your engine's setup, as this camshaft does not fit factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, nor LT1/LT4 engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove is required on the rear journal, and you'll need to contact us for assistance with those specific applications.

This camshaft fits a wide variety of Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and AM General vehicles from the 1980s and 1990s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, and AM General Hummer. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and compatibility checks, especially regarding the distributor gear and any specific oiling requirements for your engine block.
