Camshafts are what COMP Cams® is all about. The cam has long been revered as the "brain" of the engine, opening and closing the valves at the exact precise instant, coordinating the timing of each event to the exact location of the crankshaft and piston. The cam also has the remarkable ability of repeating this process over and over, as many times as necessary, in order to keep the engine running at the peak of its capability. Precise overlap events properly introduce raw fuel and expend exhaust. This provides a highly efficient scavenging process, then repeats the entire process all over again on the next stroke. Even more remarkable, the product we produce at COMP Cams® is a highly modified version of the stock, mass produced camshaft, designed to extract the most performance possible from a given application. Highly trained engineers, and experienced lobe designers work hand in hand producing better, more refined products on a daily basis. Last years product is no longer the standard by which all others are judged. New and better products must be produced to stay ahead of the maximum performance game. In an industry where 2nd place means 1st loser, there is no margin for error. There is no room for 2nd best. This is where COMP Cams® excels, we design and manufacture the winner’s camshafts.
Since day-one, COMP Cams® has sought to produce the best camshafts and valve train components on the market. We have ventured into every imaginable type of racing, designing products for a multitude of engine combinations and variations. We have designed products intended to perform at equal to, as well as less than maximum output, in order to open up venues to enthusiasts who would otherwise be excluded from competition.
In all of this, COMP Cams® has been propelled to the forefront of the automotive performance industry. We are the standard by which performance cam companies are judged. All of this so that our customers have the best selection of product available in the entire performance industry.
In 1977, there was a void in the street performance market. There were few selections available for the street enthusiasts that did not require excessive modifications. The designers at COMP Cams® saw this void and designed cams that worked with stock and near stock components, while maintaining acceptable fuel consumption and streetability. Jobbers and performance warehouses jumped at the opportunity to offer these products to the masses. Terms like Pure Energy, High Energy and Magnum suddenly became the jargon of the day, and COMP Cams® became the fastest growing cam company in the country.
The standards at COMP Cams® have not changed. We are still the leaders of the industry, with the finest Research & Development, Engineering and Quality Control Departments in the performance marketplace. The focus today is still on better products, satisfying the needs and desires of racers from all over the world.
The appearance of the camshaft hasn’t changed much in the last 50 years but what we know about camshafts has far exceeded the expectations of the original designers. Every day we learn more, and everyday we apply this knowledge to the refinement of the performance camshaft.
Experience the best, experience COMP Cams®
