What is a solid roller camshaft and why would I choose one?

A solid roller camshaft uses roller lifters that roll on the cam lobe, significantly reducing friction compared to traditional flat tappet designs. This reduction in friction allows for more aggressive cam profiles and higher RPM operation, leading to improved engine performance and power.

What other parts do I need to install this camshaft?

To achieve optimal performance with this COMP Cams camshaft, you will need to upgrade your intake manifold, exhaust system, and gear ratio. These components work together to ensure the engine can breathe properly and effectively utilize the camshaft's improved performance characteristics.

Is this camshaft street legal in California?

No, this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations. It is intended for off-road or competition use where emissions standards may differ.
