At the Orlando PRI Show, the Comp Cams booth was a busy place with all the new race products manufactured under the COMP Cams umbrella. New to their expanding line of performance lifters, Comp had a Elite Race roller lifter and a tool steel flat tappet lifter on display. The Elite Race roller lifter has an 8620 rim polished body and according to Comp Cams, the polished finishing treatment makes the lifter a lot harder and durable. The Elite Race roller has a unique oiling system and roller bearing design that trumps all other race roller lifters on the market.
For racers on a budget, Comp Cams tool steel lifters are made from a durable tool steel and designed for two different cam applications, cast iron camshafts or steel camshafts. The tool steel lifters offer increased durability and are able to stand up to the punishment any cam can dish out.
Custom Cam Grinds for Anyone
Comp Cams also had information on their custom cam core development and CNC Cam program. With more and more customers requesting one-off custom cams, it’s impossible to have the correct core on the shelf for every application. Comp Cams has developed an inventory of custom cores that have the lobes rough-milled and heat-treated. The cores are also clocked and positioned so that the lifters track true and the barrel size is maximized for optimal stiffness. With this core design any final provisions needed for a given application can be made to suit the customer. They also have a custom CNC machine in house where they can machine any cam profile per customer request.
New Black Valve Covers
For outside the engine, Black is back and COMP Cams had there new die cast valve covers for SBC, BBC and SBF engines finished in a black-wrinkle powder coat. Comp also finished off the cover with a polished COMP laser etched logo. These valve covers feature perimeter bolt holes and are designed tall enough to provide necessary clearance to accommodate aftermarket valvetrains.
