Sb Chry Cam 292H (Hyd)

The COMP Cams SB Chry Cam 292H is a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft engineered for small block Mopar engines requiring moderate lift and aggressive duration characteristics. This 292-degree duration camshaft delivers symmetrical lift specifications of 0.501 inches on both intake and exhaust lobes, paired with a 110-degree lobe separation angle that balances power band delivery across the RPM range from 3,000 to 6,500 RPM. The hydraulic flat tappet design provides the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of mechanical valve train fundamentals while accommodating the load-leveling benefits of hydraulic operation, making it a practical choice for street and mild performance applications.

The 292-degree duration and 0.501-inch lift profile creates a mid-range power curve optimized for drivability rather than peak RPM horsepower. The symmetrical lobe design ensures matching intake and exhaust characteristics, simplifying tuning and promoting consistent cylinder scavenging. The 110 LSA (lobe separation angle) positioning places this camshaft in the overlap-moderate category, reducing idle quality degradation while preserving acceptable street manners. Hydraulic tappet operation eliminates the need for manual valve lash adjustment, a significant maintenance advantage for long-term reliability on engines seeing regular use.

This camshaft is suited for small block Mopar restorers, street performance builders, and enthusiasts seeking a factory-compatible upgrade that respects original architecture while improving mid-range response. It performs well in 318, 340, and 360 cubic inch displacements where broader power delivery matters more than peak output. Builders working within emission-compliant parameters or preferring mechanical simplicity find hydraulic flat tappet designs reliable and economical. The COMP Cams SB Chry Cam 292H represents a proven specification—neither cutting-edge race-bred nor stock replacement, but rather a purposeful middle ground for engines expected to run consistently and serve daily or frequent-use duty.
