Description
Product Overview
The Comp Cams 20 601 4 camshaft is engineered for high‑performance street and strip applications, delivering a 0.497″ valve lift and a 107° lobe separation angle. This camshaft operates within a 2,200‑6,100 RPM range, making it an ideal match for Chrysler 273‑360 engines that require strong low‑end torque and a powerful top‑end punch. Constructed from premium billet steel, the camshaft features precision‑ground lobes, a 235/249 duration at .050″, and a 0.497″/0.483″ valve lift. The design incorporates early intake valve opening and extended exhaust duration, creating optimal overlap for a deep, aggressive exhaust note. Weighing 9.28 pounds and measuring 24.5 x 3 x 2.75 inches, this component fits seamlessly into performance builds that demand durability, reliability, and a noticeable power increase.

Usage
This camshaft excels in environments where high compression ratios (9:1 or greater) and aggressive gearing are present. It thrives in street‑rod builds that feature aftermarket headers, performance intake manifolds, and gear ratios designed for 2,500+ stall torque. The camshaft’s operating range makes it suitable for both daily driving and track days, delivering a hard‑hitting exhaust note that complements aftermarket converters and rear‑end gear changes. Whether installed in a classic muscle car, a modern hot rod, or a dedicated strip vehicle, the 20 601 4 camshaft provides the torque curve needed for rapid acceleration and sustained high‑RPM power.

FAQ
What engines are compatible with the 20 601 4 camshaft?
The camshaft is designed for Chrysler 273, 292, 318, 340, and 360 cubic inch engines. It works best in applications with a compression ratio of 9:1 or higher and when paired with performance intake, exhaust, and gearing.
Can I install this camshaft as a direct replacement for my stock cam?
Yes, the camshaft matches the OEM dimensions and bolt pattern, allowing a direct swap. However, to fully realize its performance potential, you should also upgrade the intake, exhaust, and tuning to match the cam’s specifications.
What is the recommended break‑in procedure?
We recommend a gentle break‑in period of the first 500 miles, using a varied RPM range and avoiding full‑throttle operation. After the break‑in, a performance tune will help you achieve the camshaft’s advertised power curve.
Is the camshaft suitable for street‑legal vehicles?
Yes, the camshaft can be used in street‑legal vehicles, provided the overall build complies with local emissions and noise regulations. The cam’s design delivers a balance of daily drivability and performance.
