COMP Cams Camshaft CS 292BR-6 (.900Bc)

If you're building a late-model oval track engine or a high-compression street machine with a Chevrolet Small Block, this COMP Cams CS 292BR-6 solid roller camshaft is designed to give you the torque you need. It’s particularly well-suited for engines over 406 cubic inches, or smaller displacement engines like a 355 with 9.5:1 or higher compression ratios. This camshaft is built for performance, aiming to maximize torque output where it matters most for racing or spirited driving.

This camshaft features a 264/268 degree duration split and is a solid roller design, which allows for more aggressive valve lift and duration compared to flat tappet cams. This translates to better airflow and more power. It’s important to note that this camshaft is optimized for use with a Melanized or Nitrided distributor gear. Using a standard cast iron or steel gear without these surface treatments can lead to premature wear and will void your warranty. Always confirm your engine's factory configuration; this camshaft fits many Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks but does not fit LT1/LT4 or factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit LS-based engines. Early 1955-1957 models also require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, so check your block's specifications.

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure you pair this camshaft with the correct distributor gear and consider consulting the manufacturer's installation guidelines. This camshaft is a solid choice for those looking to extract significant torque from their Chevrolet Small Block build.
