COMP Cams Camshaft P8 292H-10

This is the COMP Cams Magnum 244/244 Hydraulic Flat Camshaft, part number 51-240-4, designed for Pontiac 265-455 cubic inch V8 engines. It's built for performance applications where a rougher idle is acceptable in exchange for increased power. This camshaft is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to get more out of their classic Pontiac V8, fitting a wide range of vehicles like the Pontiac Firebird, Grand Prix, and LeMans, as well as many Buick and Oldsmobile models from the late 70s and early 80s.

The 244/244 duration on both intake and exhaust sides means this cam will significantly alter your engine's characteristics, providing a noticeable performance bump. Because it's a hydraulic flat tappet design, it's known for its performance usage and will result in a rougher idle compared to stock. To make the most of this camshaft, you'll need to ensure your engine has increased compression, a torque converter with at least a 3000 RPM stall speed, and a rear gear ratio of 3.73:1 or lower (numerically higher, like 4.30:1). This setup ensures the engine stays in its power band effectively.
