Sbc Cam&Lifter Kit 294s (Solid Lifter #813-16)

The COMP Cams SBC Cam & Lifter Kit 294S with Solid Lifter #813-16 is a complete mechanical flat tappet camshaft and lifter assembly engineered for small block Chevy engine builds demanding straightforward, proven performance. This kit pairs a solid-lifter camshaft with matched lifters to deliver consistent valve actuation across the RPM range without the complexity of hydraulic compensation. The 294-degree duration on both intake and exhaust, combined with 0.525-inch lift specifications, generates responsive mid-range torque while maintaining reliable operation from idle through 6500 RPM.

The 110-degree lobe separation angle (LSA) on this solid lifter camshaft creates a broad power band suited to street and moderate performance applications. The 2500 RPM powerband floor ensures the engine remains tractable at lower speeds, while the 6500 RPM ceiling provides adequate headroom for spirited driving without entering extreme rev territory. As a mechanical flat tappet design, the kit requires precise valve clearance adjustment and regular maintenance, but eliminates hydraulic lifter dependencies and offers builders direct control over valve timing geometry. The included solid lifters are engineered to work seamlessly with this camshaft's profile, ensuring proper contact geometry and durability.

This kit is intended for small block Chevy engine builders undertaking street performance, vintage restoration, or bracket racing builds who prefer solid lifter reliability and simplicity. It suits builders familiar with manual valve lash adjustment and those seeking a proven, no-nonsense camshaft system. COMP Cams is recognized in the performance engine community for consistent quality and repeatable results across their product line, making this a straightforward choice for builders prioritizing documented performance specs and established application data.

Complete small block Chevy camshaft and solid lifter kits remain foundational in performance engine assembly, and the 294-degree duration range represents a well-established sweet spot balancing responsiveness with streetability in SBC applications.
