Product Details
COMP Cams is a well-known name for performance engine components, and this P8 296Ah-8 hydraulic camshaft is built for serious drag racing applications. It's designed for Pontiac 265-455 V8 engines, fitting a wide range of models like the Firebird, GTO, and Grand Prix from the 1950s through the late 1970s.
This camshaft is engineered to produce a rough idle, which is often desirable for a race-oriented setup. It pairs well with a 3500+ RPM stall torque converter, requires at least 10:1 compression, and works best with a 4.10 or lower gear ratio. These specifications indicate it's intended for vehicles focused on acceleration and track performance rather than daily driving comfort.
If you're building a Pontiac V8 for the drag strip and want that aggressive idle and strong top-end pull, this COMP Cams camshaft is a solid option. Remember that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
