COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 286H

This is the COMP Cams CS 286H hydraulic flat tappet camshaft kit, designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines. If you're looking to wake up an older Chevy V8, this kit offers a significant performance upgrade. It's built for applications needing a bit more power and a noticeable idle sound, typically paired with other performance parts like headers and a higher stall torque converter.

Inside this kit, you'll find everything needed to get started: the CS 286H camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals. The camshaft features a 236-degree duration on both the intake and exhaust sides, and it requires at least 9:1 compression to perform optimally. This setup is known for producing a choppy idle, which is a popular characteristic for many performance builds. Remember to check your engine's factory configuration, as this kit is for flat tappet blocks and not factory roller setups found in some later model engines.

For best results, this camshaft kit is recommended for use with headers and a torque converter with a 2800+ RPM stall speed. It's a solid option for many Chevrolet models from the 1980s and early 1990s, including popular trucks and cars like the C10, Camaro, and Caprice, provided they have the correct flat tappet block.
