What type of lifters does this camshaft use?

This is a solid roller camshaft, meaning it requires solid roller lifters. These are designed for high-performance applications and offer reduced friction compared to flat tappet lifters.

What kind of engine modifications are recommended for this camshaft?

For optimal performance and reliability, this camshaft is best suited for engines over 550 cubic inches that are already built for drag racing. This typically includes an upgraded valvetrain capable of handling the cam's lift and duration, and it's designed for manual transmissions.

Can this camshaft be used in a daily driver or a street-driven vehicle?

This camshaft features an aggressive drag race profile and is not CARB approved, making it unsuitable for most daily drivers or vehicles registered in California. It's intended for dedicated performance or competition vehicles where maximum power is the priority.

Product Details

This COMP Cams solid roller camshaft features a 289-degree intake and 320-degree exhaust duration, specifically tuned for drag racing applications on Ford Big Block 429 and 460 engines. It's built for engines over 550 cubic inches and weighing 2300 pounds or more, making it suitable for serious performance builds where maximum power is the goal. The solid roller design means it uses roller lifters, which reduce friction compared to flat tappet designs, allowing for more aggressive cam profiles and higher RPM operation. This translates to a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque, especially in the upper RPM range where drag racing power is critical.

When you're building a drag-focused Ford Big Block, the camshaft is the heart of the engine's performance. This COMP Cams camshaft is designed to work best with manual transmissions and engines that are already set up for high-performance use, like those found in dedicated drag cars. Its aggressive profile is intended for engines that can handle the demands of competition, including those with upgraded valvetrain components to match the cam's lift and duration. Remember that solid roller cams require careful setup and adjustment of valve lash to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

This camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a specialized component for performance builds, and you'll want to ensure your entire engine assembly, including the valvetrain, is capable of handling its aggressive specifications. For those looking to extract maximum performance from their Ford 429 or 460 for drag racing, this camshaft offers a well-regarded profile from a trusted name in performance parts.
