COMP Cams Camshaft FW 298Dr-6

COMP Cams is well-known for making high-performance valvetrain components, and this FW 298Dr-6DR camshaft is a prime example of their drag racing expertise. This mechanical roller camshaft is specifically designed for Ford 351 Windsor engines, typically those in the 351-377 cubic inch range, and is built for serious drag strip duty. It's intended for builds with a 12:1 compression ratio and pairs well with a 4500 stall torque converter, indicating its focus on maximizing power at higher RPMs.

The camshaft features a 268 degrees of intake duration and 275 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 lift, with a lobe separation angle that's optimized for aggressive power delivery. This profile is designed to work with the "Old" firing order found in some original Ford Small Block engines and specifically the "Windsor" firing order for 351 Windsor applications. Its mechanical roller design means less friction and more precise valve control compared to flat tappet cams, which is crucial for the high-stress environment of drag racing.

When installing this camshaft, remember it's designed for performance builds and may require other supporting modifications to achieve its full potential. This includes ensuring your engine can handle the higher compression and that your valvetrain components, like lifters, pushrods, and valve springs, are up to the task. Due to its performance nature and emissions profile, this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
