COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FB 294S

This COMP Cams K-Kit features a Magnum 248/248 solid flat tappet camshaft, designed for Ford FE engines like those found in the 352, 390, and 428 cubic inch displacements. The camshaft's specifications, including its 248 degrees of intake and exhaust duration at .050 lift, indicate a performance profile suitable for street/strip applications where a more aggressive engine characteristic is desired. This kit is intended for vehicles with a minimum of 10:1 compression, low-ratio rear gears, and either a 3000+ RPM stall torque converter for automatic transmissions or a four-speed manual gearbox.

The FB 294S camshaft is known for producing a very rough idle, which is a characteristic often sought after in performance builds aiming for a distinct sound and feel. To properly support this camshaft and ensure optimal performance and engine longevity, the kit includes a comprehensive set of components. You'll find lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals, all matched to work with the camshaft's profile. Additionally, the kit contains a timing chain set for accurate valve timing, assembly lube specifically for flat tappet applications, and decals for a complete build. This all-inclusive approach means you won't have to hunt for individual parts, making the installation process more straightforward.

This camshaft kit is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to significantly alter their Ford FE engine's powerband, pushing performance higher into the RPM range. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper tuning and supporting modifications, such as the recommended compression ratio and gearing, are crucial for realizing the full potential of this performance camshaft and ensuring reliable operation.
