Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components that help engines breathe better and make more power. This Magnum 236/236 Solid Flat Cam SK-Kit is built for Pontiac 265-455 V8 engines, offering a mild idle suitable for street machines. It's designed to work with a range of classic Pontiac and Buick V8s, including popular models like the Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeSabre from the late 60s through the early 80s.

This kit comes with everything you need to get started: the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a timing chain set for proper synchronization, assembly lube to protect components during initial startup, and decals. To get the most out of this cam, you'll want to ensure your engine has at least 9.5:1 compression, a torque converter rated for 2000 RPM or higher if you have an automatic transmission, and a good set of headers to help the engine exhale efficiently. The 236/236 duration at 0.050 lift is a solid choice for improved performance without being overly aggressive for daily driving.

When installing this kit, remember to follow the included instructions carefully. Proper break-in procedures are crucial for the longevity of a new camshaft and lifters, especially with solid lifter designs. This kit is a great way to wake up the performance of your classic V8, giving it a noticeable boost in power and a more aggressive sound.
