Pontiac Cam 260H (Hyd)

The Pontiac Cam 260H (Hyd) from COMP CAMS is a high-energy hydraulic flat tappet camshaft engineered for small-block Pontiac V8 engines seeking reliable mid-range power and consistent valve control. This camshaft is purpose-built for street and mild performance applications where hydraulic actuation provides automatic valve lash adjustment without the need for manual lifter preload tuning. Designed for builders who demand dependable timing events across the RPM band, the Pontiac Cam 260H (Hyd) delivers the repeatability and durability that modern Pontiac enthusiasts require.

This camshaft features symmetrical 260-degree duration at 0.050 inch valve lift on both intake and exhaust, with identical 0.440-inch lift specifications that promote balanced breathing and predictable combustion pressure. The 110-degree lobe separation angle (LSA) is optimized for efficient scavenging and low-end torque, making the Pontiac Cam 260H (Hyd) ideal for engines operating in the 1,200 to 5,200 RPM power band. The hydraulic flat tappet design eliminates the complexity of solid lifter maintenance while maintaining the classic simplicity and cost-effectiveness that Pontiac platform builders appreciate. Precision-ground lobes and hardened steel construction ensure longevity even under sustained performance demands.

The Pontiac Cam 260H (Hyd) suits engine rebuilds, restorations, and bolt-on upgrades for Pontiac V8 applications where straightforward installation and reliable operation take priority over extreme RPM capabilities. This camshaft pairs seamlessly with stock or mildly modified induction and exhaust systems, and works with hydraulic lifter assemblies already present in most Pontiac blocks. Installation requires standard camshaft timing procedures and verification of intake manifold gasket compatibility; consult engine-specific build guides to confirm proper fitment with your cylinder head configuration. Buyers searching for Pontiac performance camshafts for sale will find this specification a proven, accessible choice for balanced street performance.
