COMP Cams Camshaft CS 314Rxd-14

COMP Cams is well-known for its performance engine components, and this CS 314Rxd-14 solid roller camshaft is a prime example of their expertise. This camshaft is specifically designed for drag racing and fast bracket applications, aiming to give your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine the aggressive profile it needs to perform. It features a 281/296 degree duration split with a solid roller lifter design, which is crucial for achieving higher RPMs and more aggressive valve timing compared to flat tappet cams.

This camshaft is built for performance, featuring a solid roller design that reduces friction and allows for more precise valve control at high engine speeds. The specifications are tailored for engines like the 350, 400, and other Chevrolet Small Blocks, offering a significant upgrade over stock components for those looking to maximize their engine's potential on the drag strip or in bracket racing scenarios. It's important to note that this camshaft is intended for blocks that do not have factory roller provisions; if your engine was built from 1985 or later, you'll need to confirm if it has a factory roller setup before installation. Early 1955-1957 models also have specific oiling groove requirements that this particular part number does not accommodate.

When installing this camshaft, ensure your engine is compatible with a solid roller setup, as it requires specific lifters, pushrods, and potentially upgraded valve springs. This part fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, including popular engines found in vehicles like the Chevrolet C1500, Chevrolet Camaro, and Chevrolet Caprice, among many others. Always consult your vehicle's specific service manual or verify your engine block's configuration to ensure proper fitment and to understand any additional components needed for a successful installation.
