COMP Cams Camshaft CS 292C-R6 .900 Bc

If you're building a performance Chevrolet Small Block engine for oval track racing, this COMP Cams solid roller camshaft is designed to give you a competitive edge. It's specifically tuned for the demands of racing, with an advertised duration of 264 degrees on the intake and 272 degrees on the exhaust, and a .900-inch lift. This camshaft is intended for use in a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327, but it's important to verify your specific engine's factory roller or flat tappet configuration, as it does not fit factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer.

This camshaft is a solid roller design, which allows for higher lift and more aggressive valve events compared to flat tappet cams, contributing to improved airflow and power. For optimal performance and to ensure warranty coverage, it's crucial to use a Melanized or Nitrided distributor gear. Using cast iron or steel gears without these surface treatments can lead to premature wear and will void the warranty. COMP Cams has engineered this camshaft with specific lobe profiles to maximize power output in the RPM range typical for oval track racing. Remember that 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, and this particular part number does not include it; please contact us if your early engine requires this feature.

When installing this camshaft, be aware that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's also important to note the Prop 65 warning associated with this product. This is a serious performance component for dedicated racers looking to extract the most from their Chevrolet Small Block engine.
