COMP Cams Camshaft CS 292BR-6

If you're building a late-model oval track engine or a serious street performance small block Chevy, this COMP Cams CS 292BR-6 solid roller camshaft is designed to give you the torque you need. It's specifically tuned for engines like the 406+ Late Model or a 355 with around 9.0:1 compression, aiming for the best torque output in that range. This camshaft is a significant upgrade over stock flat tappet designs, offering improved performance for demanding applications.

This camshaft is a solid roller type, which means it uses roller lifters to reduce friction compared to traditional flat tappet cams. This design allows for more aggressive lobe profiles, leading to better performance and durability. For this camshaft to work correctly and maintain its warranty, it's crucial to use a Melanized or Nitrided distributor gear. Using a standard cast iron or steel gear without these surface treatments can cause premature wear and will void the warranty. Always check your block's factory roller configuration, as this cam is intended for blocks that originally used flat tappet cams, though it fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Blocks from 1955 through 1996, excluding factory roller blocks and LT1/LT4 engines.

When installing this camshaft, remember that 1955-1957 models with a rear journal oiling groove require a specific version of the camshaft. If your engine falls into this category, please contact us to ensure you get the correct part. This camshaft is a key component for serious engine builds, and proper installation with the right supporting components is essential for achieving optimal performance and longevity.
