Comp Cams Engine Camshaft 20-600-4 High Performance 2,000-5,800 RPM

Description

Product Overview

The COMP Cams 20-600-4 camshaft is engineered for enthusiasts who demand reliable power and a distinctive exhaust note. Crafted from high‑grade metallic material, this camshaft offers a robust 0.486 inch lift on the intake and 0.473 inch lift on the exhaust, delivering a broad torque curve that enhances acceleration from low to mid‑range RPMs. With a duration of 227/241 degrees at .050″ and a 107 degree lobe separation angle, the cam provides early intake valve opening and extended exhaust duration, creating optimal overlap for a hard‑hitting sound. The camshaft’s design supports an operating range of 2,000‑5,800 RPM, making it suitable for street performance as well as track applications. Weighing 9.52 pounds and measuring 23.3 x 2.9 x 2.6 inches, the component fits precisely into Chrysler 273‑360 engine blocks, ensuring a seamless installation process. The product is manufactured in the United States, reflecting COMP Cams’ commitment to quality control and precision engineering. This camshaft is compatible with stock converters, though it truly shines when paired with a high‑flow aftermarket converter and a rear‑gear ratio that maximizes power delivery.

Usage

Designed for muscle cars, street rods, and high‑performance builds, the 20-600-4 camshaft thrives in environments where drivers seek both power and a resonant exhaust tone. It is ideal for vehicles that regularly operate within the 2,000‑5,800 RPM window, such as classic American V8s, hot rods, and custom builds that prioritize torque and mid‑range horsepower. When installed with an appropriate aftermarket exhaust converter and a rear‑end gear ratio that complements the cam’s characteristics, owners experience smoother acceleration, reduced choppy idle, and a more aggressive exhaust note. The camshaft also performs well in drag racing scenarios where rapid throttle response and strong low‑end torque are essential. For daily driving, the cam provides a balance between performance and drivability, delivering enough low‑end torque for city traffic while still offering exhilarating power on open roads. Proper tuning, including fuel and ignition adjustments, ensures the engine runs efficiently and reliably with the new cam profile.
