Sbc Cam 288TLS-6 Tight Lash Solid

The COMP CAMS Sbc Cam 288TLS-6 Tight Lash Solid is a purpose-built mechanical flat-tappet camshaft engineered for serious drag racing and high-performance small-block Chevrolet engines. This solid camshaft delivers aggressive lift and extended duration to maximize power in the 4200–7200 RPM powerband, making it the ideal choice for racers and enthusiasts who demand maximum cylinder head flow and valve event control in competition environments.

This camshaft features a tight lash design optimized for mechanical lifters and flat-tappet valve train geometry, with precise lift specifications of 0.550 inches on the intake side and 0.570 inches on the exhaust side. The 288/296-degree duration split and 106-degree lobe separation angle (LSA) create an aggressive overlap window that enhances scavenging and throttle response at peak RPM. The solid-roller construction eliminates hydraulic slop, ensuring repeatability and reliability under sustained high-RPM operation typical of drag racing applications where consistent valve timing is critical to consistent performance.

Racers selecting the COMP CAMS 288TLS-6 benefit from decades of OEM and aftermarket calibration data specific to small-block Chevy platforms. Installation requires compatible flat-tappet lifters, appropriate pushrod geometry, and valve train clearance verification—professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct lobe phasing and preload. This camshaft delivers measurable horsepower gains in dedicated race engines and serves competitors in bracket racing, grudge racing, and high-RPM street applications where stock or mild-performance cams fall short.
