COMP Cams Camshaft CS 290As-14

If you're building a mild bracket or hot street Chevrolet Small Block engine, especially one that will see a small blower or a 471 blower, this COMP Cams CS 290As-14 camshaft is a solid option. It's designed for a good balance of performance and drivability in a wide range of Chevrolet and GM vehicles from the 1980s and early 1990s.

This camshaft features a 255/265 degree duration at 0.050 inch lift, making it a noticeable step up from stock without being overly aggressive for street use. It's a solid flat tappet design, meaning it requires the use of a compatible camshaft and lifter set. Keep in mind that some earlier Small Block Chevy engines, specifically 1955-1957 models, have an oiling groove on the rear journal that this particular camshaft does not accommodate. Always verify your block's configuration before ordering.

This camshaft fits a broad spectrum of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks, including popular displacements like the 350 and 400 cubic inch engines. It's a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their classic GM performance cars and trucks.
