Product Details

This COMP Cams K-Kit, specifically the A8 292H camshaft package, starts with a Magnum 244/244 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft designed for AMC 290 through 401 cubic inch V8 engines. It's intended for street/strip use, particularly on 360 cubic inch engines and larger, and works best with a 10:1 compression ratio, a 3000+ RPM stall converter, and low rear-end gears. Expect a notably rough idle with this setup, indicating its performance-oriented nature.

This is a complete kit, meaning it bundles everything you need for a comprehensive camshaft upgrade. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure proper valvetrain synchronization, assembly lube for flat tappet applications, and decals and instructions to guide you through the installation process. This all-in-one approach simplifies the job, ensuring you have the right parts from a trusted name in performance engine components.

This kit is a solid option for those looking to significantly alter their AMC V8's powerband and sound. Given its aggressive nature, it's best suited for experienced builders or those working with a shop that understands the nuances of tuning for a rough idle and high-RPM performance. Ensure your engine is prepared for the demands of this camshaft, especially regarding compression and cooling.
