What is the primary application for the COMP Cams CS 292H-10 camshaft?

This camshaft is primarily intended for street machines and performance applications using Chevrolet Small Block engines from 1958-1998. It's designed to provide a significant performance upgrade over stock camshafts.

What supporting modifications are needed for this camshaft?

For optimal performance in street machine applications, this camshaft requires a torque converter with a stall speed of 2500 RPM or higher, headers, and appropriate rear-end gearing. Upgraded valve springs and pushrods are also recommended.

How can I tell if my engine has a flat tappet camshaft or a roller camshaft?

To confirm if your engine uses a flat tappet or factory roller camshaft, you will typically need to remove the intake manifold or the timing cover. Many Chevrolet Small Blocks from the mid-1980s onward gradually transitioned to roller camshafts, so verification is important.

Product Details

This COMP Cams CS 292H-10 camshaft is a hydraulic flat tappet grind designed for a wide range of classic Chevrolet small block engines built between 1958 and 1998. It's a popular choice for street machines looking for a noticeable bump in performance, but it's important to know it requires some supporting modifications to really shine. You'll want at least a 2500 RPM stall speed torque converter, headers, and appropriate rear-end gearing to make the most of its capabilities.

The CS 292H-10 features a 244/244 duration at .050 inch lift, which is a fairly aggressive profile that will result in a rougher idle compared to stock. This camshaft is intended for engines like the 350, 400, and others in that displacement range, but it's crucial to verify your specific engine uses a flat tappet valvetrain and not a factory roller setup, especially for engines built from the mid-80s onward. Removing the intake manifold or timing cover is the best way to confirm.

Because this camshaft is designed for performance applications, it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you have the necessary supporting components like upgraded valve springs and pushrods to match the camshaft's specifications for optimal performance and reliability.
