COMP Cams Camshaft CS 296A-R6 .900 Bc

If you're building a Chevrolet Small Block for short track racing, getting the right camshaft is key to good torque and throttle response. This COMP Cams CS 296A-R6 .900 Bc solid roller camshaft is specifically designed for applications like a 355 cubic inch engine on a short track, aiming to give you that crucial low-end grunt and quick reaction when you need it most.

This camshaft is a solid roller type, which generally allows for more aggressive lobe profiles and higher lift compared to flat tappet designs. The .900" lift and 260/262 degrees of duration at .050" lift are optimized for oval track performance, providing a strong powerband that’s effective for quick acceleration out of corners. It’s built for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 up to 400 cubic inches, but it's important to verify your specific engine setup. This camshaft is not intended for factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer, or for LT1/LT4 engines. Also, be aware that 1955-1957 models require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, which this particular part number does not have; contact us if your early engine needs this feature.

This is a significant upgrade for a dedicated racing engine. Remember to consult your engine builder or refer to COMP Cams' detailed installation instructions to ensure proper setup, including valve springs, pushrods, and lifters that are compatible with a solid roller camshaft. Proper installation is critical for performance and longevity.
