There’s a lot going on at the COMP Performance Group booth at SEMA 2017. This is one of the larger parts displays, and they work so hard throughout the year to get the latest and greatest parts out to their customers.

This year, one of the biggest changes for COMP Cams is the attractive, but more importantly, highly-functional Micro Surface Enhancement for the GM LS camshaft selection. The technology is a first in the automotive aftermarket, and is meant to greatly improve strength and performance. By spreading the contact area between the roller and cam face, these camshafts can handle higher loads and reduced localized stress. Load bearing faces will see a 65 percent reduction in surface peak roughness, and a 250 percent improvement in the effectiveness of the load bearing area.

The Micro Surface Enhancement also uses uniform pressure across the cam lobe face that will help to reduce abnormalities on the surface, a problem common with other techniques like belt polishing. Doing this results in a more even distribution of load, and higher durability. Another benefit is the removal of sharp edges and small machining marks that result from standard grinding processes.

In addition to the MSE cams, the COMP Performance Group (CPG) is also introducing a series of FSL cams for GM L99 engines, a cam made to pass tough California CARB Executive Order. New Billet Valve Covers for LS engines also offer oiling for the valve springs with -16AN oil ports.

On the TCI side of CPG, they have expanded their line to include a 4x 4-speed automatic transmission series that allows the use of 4L80E or 700R4 in a non-GM applications. Both the electric and non-electric versions have a SFI-spec adapter bellhousing for use behind Small-Block Ford or Big-Block Ford, Ford modular engines, Small-Block Chevy or Big-Block Chevy, Big-Block Chrysler, Gen III Hemi, Buick, Pontiac, Olds, or GM engines.

Stay tuned for more coverage of offerings from the COMP Performance Group during the SEMA show, and into 2018.
