COMP Cams Camshafts & Valvetrain

Shop COMP Cams camshafts, cam kits, valve springs, lifters, rocker arms, pushrods, and timing components at Black Ops Auto Works. Explore engine-specific parts for performance upgrades and valvetrain service, including selected Dodge HEMI, Chevrolet LS and LT, Ford Coyote, and Ford Modular applications. Match each component to your engine combination, intended operating range, and exact manufacturer part number.

COMP Cams Camshafts and Camshaft Kits

This collection includes selected HRT cam kits for HEMI engines, Thumpr options for GM LS applications, and camshaft sets for Ford Coyote engines. Compare the actual cam specifications and application notes rather than choosing by stage number or idle sound alone.

Lift, duration, operating range, compression, induction, and supporting drivetrain components all belong in the selection process. A camshaft suited to one combination may not suit another engine with different cylinder heads, gearing, or intended use. Review the manufacturer’s cam card and discuss the complete combination with your builder.

HEMI, LS, LT, and Coyote Application Differences

Confirm the engine generation and installed valvetrain before ordering. Non-VVT and VVT HEMI applications have different requirements, while Ford Coyote timing and camshaft listings distinguish between production generations. GM Gen III, Gen IV, and Gen V components should not be treated as interchangeable.

The collection also includes selected GM DOD delete kits and non-MDS HEMI lifter components. These are application-specific conversion parts, not universal repair kits. Confirm all required hardware, calibration, and applicable road-use requirements before planning a conversion.

Valve Springs, Retainers, and Seals

Explore selected beehive and conical valve spring kits, steel retainers, spring shims, and valve seals. Match the spring assembly to the exact cam profile, cylinder head, valve dimensions, and intended operating range.

A stated maximum lift does not establish compatibility by itself. Installed height, seat and open pressures, coil-bind clearance, retainer fit, and retainer-to-seal clearance must also be verified. Check whether the selected kit includes retainers, locks, seats, or seals rather than assuming every supporting component is supplied.

Lifters, Rocker Arms, and Pushrods

Selected COMP Cams lifters, lash adjusters, roller rocker arms, rocker-shaft hardware, and pushrods support valvetrain assembly and service. Verify lifter type, rocker ratio, mounting arrangement, and the required adjustment method for the application.

Pushrod length should match the assembled engine geometry. Cylinder-head machining, gasket changes, lifter selection, and rocker configuration can affect the required length. Some HEMI listings specify different intake and exhaust pushrods, so confirm both positions and package quantities before ordering.

Timing Components, Phaser Limiters, and Tools

The collection includes selected timing chains, timing sets, cam phaser limiters, cam lock plates, degree kits, and pushrod length checkers. These components help support an application-specific installation, but each must match the engine and camshaft requirements.

A phaser limiter is not interchangeable with every phaser or cam combination. Confirm the required part number, adjustment range, and calibration instructions. Installation tools and camshaft break-in lubricant are also available in selected listings, with use determined by the exact valvetrain and manufacturer directions.

Before You Order COMP Cams Parts

• Identify the exact engine family, generation, cylinder heads, and existing modifications.
• Match the COMP Cams manufacturer part number and cam card.
• Confirm VVT, cylinder-deactivation, and lifter configuration where applicable.
• Compare spring, retainer, rocker, pushrod, and timing requirements.
• Check whether the listing supplies a camshaft, component kit, or master kit.
• Plan measurement of piston-to-valve clearance and valvetrain geometry.
• Review installation, lubrication, break-in, and calibration requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a higher-stage COMP Cams camshaft always better?

No. Choose a camshaft for the complete engine combination and intended use. Stage names do not replace the actual cam specifications, supporting-part requirements, or operating-range information.

Will I need different valve springs with a camshaft upgrade?

Requirements vary by part number. Some profiles specify matched replacement springs, while others have application-specific no-springs-required designations. Follow the exact cam instructions and verify the existing components and clearances.

Does a master camshaft kit contain everything needed?

Not necessarily. Package contents vary, and the engine may need additional gaskets, fasteners, timing components, machining, or calibration. Compare the supplied-parts list with the complete installation requirements.

Can I reuse my existing pushrods?

Only when their condition, dimensions, and specifications suit the assembled valvetrain. Verify the required length and geometry rather than assuming the original pushrods remain correct after other changes.

Do all COMP Cams camshafts use the same break-in procedure?

No. Follow the instructions for the exact camshaft, lifters, and spring combination. Do not apply one lubrication or break-in procedure to every flat-tappet and roller application.
