Frequently Asked Questions

What does COMP Cams manufacture?

COMP Cams produces performance camshafts, valve springs, lifters, rocker arms, timing sets, pushrods, and complete valvetrain kits engineered to increase horsepower and torque in muscle car and racing engines.

How do I choose the right camshaft?

Camshaft choice depends on your engine size, compression, intended RPM range, transmission, and gearing. COMP Cams offers profiles from mild street to full race to match your performance goals.

What is camshaft duration and lift?

Duration is how long a valve stays open, measured in crankshaft degrees, while lift is how far it opens. Both affect power delivery, idle quality, and your engine’s RPM characteristics.

Do I need to upgrade valve springs with a new cam?

Often yes. Higher-lift camshafts require matched valve springs to control the valvetrain at higher RPM and prevent valve float, so COMP Cams supplies springs designed for each cam profile.

What is the difference between flat-tappet and roller cams?

Flat-tappet cams are economical and traditional, while roller cams reduce friction and allow more aggressive profiles for more power. COMP Cams offers both to suit different budgets and build goals.

Does Cruisin Automotive ship COMP Cams Australia-wide?

Yes. Cruisin Automotive imports genuine COMP Cams camshafts and valvetrain components directly from the USA, shipping Australia-wide at competitive prices with expert help selecting the right cam for you.
