COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB 280H

If you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Big Block engine for street machine use, this COMP Cams CB 280H camshaft kit is a solid option. This kit is designed for 396 to 454 cubic inch engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, and it's a popular choice for those wanting a noticeable bump in performance. It's known to work well with headers and requires at least 9.0:1 compression. For 396-402 cubic inch engines, you'll want to pair this with a torque converter rated for 2500 RPM or higher and lower rear-end gears to get the most out of its aggressive profile.

This kit comes with everything you need to get started: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals. The CB 280H camshaft has a 230/230 degree duration at .050 lift and a high lift profile, which contributes to its rough idle characteristic that many street machine enthusiasts appreciate. It's a well-built kit that offers a significant improvement in performance for your classic Chevrolet.
