COMP Cams Camshaft Kit P8 294S

If you're looking to build a Pontiac V8 for maximum street performance, this COMP Cams Magnum camshaft kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for engines needing a rough idle and a higher compression ratio, specifically 10:1 or more. It’s a complete package, meaning you get everything you need to get the job done right, including the camshaft, lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, and a timing chain set. They even include assembly lube and instructions, making the installation process smoother. This kit is intended for serious performance builds where a noticeable idle and strong top-end power are the goals.

The Magnum 248/248 camshaft profile is a popular option for those seeking aggressive street manners and improved power output. To make the most of this camshaft, you'll want to pair it with a torque converter that has a stall speed of 3000 RPM or higher, along with lower rear-end gearing. This setup ensures the engine stays in its power band during acceleration and hard driving. The kit is well-built and includes all the necessary components to ensure proper installation and function, making it a comprehensive solution for your Pontiac V8 performance upgrade.

This kit fits a wide range of Pontiac V8 engines, as well as some Buick and Oldsmobile models from the late 70s and early 80s, and many classic Pontiacs going back to the 50s. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the included instructions for detailed installation procedures and recommended setup for your specific application.
