Product Details

If you're building a serious drag racing engine for your Ford Big Block 429 or 460, this COMP Cams 304BR-8 solid roller camshaft is a strong contender. This cam is specifically tuned for maximum power output in applications demanding high compression ratios (11:1 or better) and a performance stall converter (around 4500 RPM). It's designed to work with the Ford 385 Series engine family, often found in performance applications like the Cobra Jet models.

This camshaft features a 268-degree intake duration and 276-degree exhaust duration, with a solid roller design. Solid roller lifters are known for their ability to handle aggressive cam profiles and high RPMs, making them ideal for racing. The specific lobe separation angle and other internal specs are optimized for this application, aiming to deliver a significant power increase over stock camshafts, particularly in the upper RPM range where drag racing power is crucial. It's a well-built component for those pushing the limits of their engine.

Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and to ensure proper operation, it's recommended to consult the COMP Cams installation instructions and ensure your engine build supports the requirements for this aggressive camshaft, including appropriate valve springs and pushrods.
