COMP Cams Camshaft CS 288TLS-6

This COMP Cams CS 288TLS-6 camshaft is built with a solid flat tappet design, meaning it uses traditional lifters and requires careful setup for optimal performance. It's specifically tuned for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, offering a 259-degree intake and 266-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift. This camshaft is a popular choice for drag racing applications, especially when paired with engines around 350-400 cubic inches that have an 11:1 compression ratio and a stall speed of 4800 RPM or higher.

Engineered for demanding use on big tracks or half-mile courses, this camshaft excels in high RPM situations. It's a great option for builds with open rules and larger displacement engines where maximizing top-end power is the goal. The tight lash specification means you'll want to pay close attention to valve adjustment during installation to ensure it performs as intended.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350 and 400. However, it's important to note that it does not fit factory roller camshaft blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LS-based engines. Early 1955-1957 models may also require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, so it's always a good idea to confirm your block's specifications before ordering.
