COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 286H-R10

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance camshafts and valvetrain components that help engines breathe better and make more power. This CS 286H-R10 Magnum hydraulic roller cam kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, giving them a significant performance boost for street machines. It’s a popular choice when you’re upgrading to headers and an aftermarket intake manifold, aiming for a noticeable increase in horsepower.

This kit includes the camshaft, lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essential parts to get the job done. The CS 286H-R10 camshaft itself features a 230-degree intake and 230-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift, making it a solid choice for street performance. Expect a rougher idle and limited vacuum with this setup, which is typical for cams of this size, and it pairs best with a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed. This kit is designed for engines that originally came with flat tappet camshafts; if your engine was built from 1985 onward, it's important to check if it has a factory roller setup before installation, as this kit is not compatible with factory roller blocks.

This kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 305, 327, and 350. It's also compatible with vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice from specific years, as well as trucks and commercial chassis models. Remember, this camshaft kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
