What kind of idle can I expect with the COMP Cams FF 282S-10 camshaft?

This camshaft is described as having a 'mild rough idle.' This is typical for performance camshafts that increase valve overlap, giving the engine a more aggressive sound than a stock camshaft.

What other parts are recommended when installing this camshaft?

For best results and engine health, it's often recommended to replace valve springs and lifters when installing a new camshaft. Ensure your torque converter is rated for 2000 RPM or higher and that you have headers installed.

Does this camshaft come with installation hardware?

This product listing is for the camshaft itself. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required hardware and any necessary assembly lubricants.

Product Details

If you're building a street machine for your Ford Big Block 429 or 460 and want a noticeable idle with improved performance, this COMP Cams FF 282S-10 camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to work well with a mild torque converter, specifically one rated for 2000 RPM or higher, and headers, which are common upgrades for this type of build. This camshaft is intended for engines with a compression ratio of 9:1 or higher to get the most out of its profile.

This camshaft is a solid lifter type, meaning it requires a bit more attention during installation and maintenance compared to hydraulic lifters, but it can offer a more direct feel and response. The 'mild rough idle' mentioned is characteristic of performance camshafts that move away from the stock profile, giving your engine a more aggressive sound and presence. It's a well-built component from COMP Cams, a popular name in performance engine parts, and it's intended for those looking to enhance the performance of their classic Ford V8.

When installing this camshaft, remember to check your vehicle's specific requirements and consider replacing valve springs and lifters if they are worn. This camshaft fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the 90s, including models like the Ford F-250, Mercury Marquis, and Lincoln Continental.
