Description
The Precision High-Winding Evolution for Your Gen 6 Big Block For the enthusiast running a non-EFI (carbureted) setup who wants massive high-RPM power without a temperamental idle, the Competition Cams 01-426-8 is a surgical strike in performance engineering. This camshaft is specifically ground for 1996–2001 Gen 6 Chevy blocks, offering a sophisticated alternative to tighter-LSA race cams by providing a relentless pull all the way to 6,400 RPM with superior valvetrain stability.
Extended Power Band and High-Velocity Lift The 01-426-8 features a high-lift .540″/.560″ profile paired with a wider 114° Lobe Separation Angle. This combination is optimized for a broad 2,800 to 6,400 RPM range. While many non-EFI cams use a 110° LSA for a “choppier” sound, the 114° LSA on this grind allows for better high-RPM air processing and a broader power curve, making it perfect for heavy-hitting street machines that need to keep pulling where other cams fall flat.
What to Expect: Authoritative Tone and Endless Pull Once installed, your Chevy will possess a dual personality. At idle, the 114° LSA provides a smooth yet authoritative exhaust note—it sounds like a precision-built machine rather than a ragged race car. However, once you cross the 2,800 RPM threshold, the “Xtreme Energy” ramps deliver an electric surge of power that transforms your Big Block into a high-revving monster, maintaining its composure and power production all the way to the top end.
Why You Should Buy: The Synchronized High-Output Trio This kit is the essential foundation for a high-revving Big Block. By matching this aggressive Competition Cams profile with Premium Performance Roller Lifters and a Billet Double Roller Timing Set, you are ensuring your valvetrain has the internal strength to handle 6,400 RPM runs with absolute timing accuracy. You should buy this kit to gain a synchronized performance advantage, giving your Chevy the high-lift capability and mechanical harmony needed to dominate the street and strip.
