COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 279T H-107 T

When you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit K12-600-4 is a complete package to get you there. This kit includes the CS 279T Thumpr camshaft, which is designed for a high-performance street application and is known for its distinctive choppy, thumping idle. It’s a hydraulic flat tappet design, meaning it uses traditional flat tappet lifters and requires specific setup, but it offers a significant performance upgrade over stock for many classic Chevy engines.

Inside this comprehensive kit, you'll find everything needed for a proper installation. It comes with the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To ensure the timing is spot-on, a timing chain set is included, along with assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications, and even decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is best paired with a torque converter rated for 2000 RPM or higher and appropriate gearing to take full advantage of the camshaft's performance characteristics.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 265, 350, and 400 cubic inch V8s. However, it's crucial to verify your specific engine setup, as factory roller camshafts were gradually introduced in 1985 and later. This kit is not compatible with LT1, LT4, or factory roller small blocks, nor is it for the modern LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, ensure the 5th cam journal has an oiling groove; if not, contact us for specific guidance.
