COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB 308R

When you're looking to get the most out of your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB 308R is a solid option. What you get in this kit is a Magnum 262/262 Solid Roller Camshaft, a set of lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. It's designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, covering a wide range of vehicles like the Chevrolet Impala, Chevelle, Camaro, and Corvette from the late 60s through the mid-70s, and even some later models up to the early 90s.

This camshaft is built for serious performance, often referred to as an 'Ultimate Pro Street' cam. To make the most of it, you'll want to have at least 10.5:1 compression, a 3500+ RPM stall torque converter if you're running an automatic transmission, or a four-speed manual transmission. A 4.10 gear ratio is also recommended to keep the engine in its power band. The solid roller design means it's built for high RPM operation and aggressive valve lift, which translates to a significant increase in horsepower and torque compared to a stock flat tappet setup.

Because this is a solid roller camshaft, it requires specific valvetrain components and careful installation. Make sure you have all the necessary tools and are comfortable with engine rebuilding procedures, or consider having a professional mechanic handle the installation. This kit is intended for performance builds where maximum power output is the goal, and it's important to ensure your entire engine setup can handle the increased demands.
