Product Details
This COMP Cams camshaft is a solid roller type, designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines. You get the camshaft itself, ready to be installed. It's specifically tuned for oval track racing, particularly on 1/4 to 3/8 mile tracks with tighter corners where consistent power delivery is key. This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327, across many vehicle makes and models from the 1980s and early 1990s, such as Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, and Cadillac Fleetwood models.
The CS 292A-R6 camshaft features a 256-degree intake duration and 258-degree exhaust duration, with a .900-inch lift. This profile is optimized for the demands of oval track racing, aiming for strong mid-range torque and responsiveness needed for navigating tight turns. It's crucial to note that this camshaft is optimized for use with a Melanized or Nitrided distributor gear. Using cast iron or steel gears without similar surface treatments will void the warranty and return policy, so be sure to select the correct distributor gear to match.
It's important to confirm your engine's compatibility before installation. This camshaft does not fit factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LT1/LT4 or any LS-based engines. Some 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal; if your engine falls into this category, you'll need to contact us for a special order. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for complete details and proper setup.
