Sb Ford Cam 282s (Solid)

The COMP Cams SB Ford Cam 282S is a solid mechanical flat tappet camshaft engineered specifically for small block Ford engines seeking reliable mid-range performance. This 282-degree duration camshaft delivers 0.528 inches of lift on both intake and exhaust, operating within a 2,000 to 6,000 RPM band with a 110-degree lobe separation angle. Designed for street and mild performance applications, the 282S provides the controllability of mechanical valve train operation with straightforward installation and proven durability in field use.

The cam's moderate lift and duration specifications balance drivability with responsiveness. The 282-degree duration window supports smooth idle characteristics and usable torque delivery across the RPM range, while the equal intake and exhaust lift (0.528/0.528) ensures symmetrical valve event timing. The 110 LSA (lobe separation angle) positions the centerlines to favor mid-range performance, making this profile suitable for stock-to-mildly-modified small block Ford engines without requiring significant ancillary modifications. Flat tappet design keeps complexity and cost manageable for traditional engine builders and restoration projects.

This camshaft is ideal for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading classic small block Ford engines in street vehicles, vintage hot rods, and performance trucks where mechanical simplicity and proven reliability take priority. Builders working within bolt-on limits or avoiding extensive head and induction work benefit from the 282S's ability to enhance factory powerplants without demanding premium fuel, exotic components, or high-RPM operation. The Magnum designation confirms COMP Cams' quality casting and machining standards, supporting longevity in both low-stress cruising and sustained performance use.
