Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Magnum 224/224 hydraulic roller camshaft kit, designed for Chevrolet 262 cubic inch (4.3L) V6 engines. It's a popular choice for owners looking to add some serious performance to their vehicle, suitable for high-performance street applications. This kit is intended for those who want a noticeable change in their engine's power band and sound, often paired with other upgrades to really let the engine breathe.

Inside this kit, you'll find everything needed to get started: the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a new timing chain set to ensure precise valve timing, and assembly lube to help everything go together smoothly. COMP Cams is well-known for making solid valvetrain components, and this kit reflects that. The 224/224 duration on a hydraulic roller setup means you'll get improved airflow and a mild rough idle that signals a more aggressive engine tune. For this camshaft to perform at its best, it's recommended to pair it with an intake system, headers, and a rear gear ratio in the 3.73 to 4.10 range, along with a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed. This ensures the engine can take advantage of the increased airflow the camshaft provides.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from the late 80s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Astro, S10, and GMC Sonoma. While it offers a significant performance improvement, it's important to note that it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Make sure to follow the included instructions carefully during installation to achieve the best results and ensure proper break-in.
