COMP Cams Camshaft CS 314Ce-R14

When you're building a drag car with a Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, you need a camshaft that can handle serious abuse and deliver power when you need it most. This COMP Cams 12-814-9 solid roller camshaft is designed specifically for drag racing applications, featuring a 278/294 degree duration split and a .630/.630 lift profile. It's built for engines that demand aggressive performance and are looking to maximize their output on the strip.

This camshaft is a solid roller type, which means it uses roller lifters to reduce friction and allow for more aggressive lobe profiles compared to flat tappet cams. This translates to better performance and durability under high-RPM conditions. It's designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327. However, it's important to note that this camshaft is not compatible with factory roller camshaft blocks from 1985 and newer, nor will it fit LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 models, a specific oiling groove is required on the rear journal, and this particular part number does not include it; please contact us if your early engine requires this feature.

Installing a camshaft like this is a significant part of a performance build. It works in conjunction with other engine components to control valve timing and lift, directly impacting how your engine breathes and makes power. For optimal performance and reliability, ensure you have the correct valve springs, pushrods, and timing set that are compatible with a solid roller camshaft of this specification. This COMP Cams camshaft is a well-built component intended for dedicated drag racing builds where every bit of performance counts.
