Description

The Comp Cams CL12-246-3 is a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and lifter kit engineered for Small Block Chevy engines with displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches, compatible with model years 1955 through 1998. This Xtreme Energy series camshaft offers a strong mid-range torque output and improved throttle response, with an operational RPM range of 1800 to 6000. It features a .490 lift on both the intake and exhaust sides, with advertised durations of 274 degrees for intake and 286 degrees for exhaust, and durations at .050 lift of 230 degrees (intake) and 236 degrees (exhaust). The 110-degree lobe separation angle contributes to its performance characteristics. It is well-suited for street carbureted applications and offers quiet valve train operation and durability for daily driven vehicles. For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair this camshaft with COMP Cams roller rockers and matched valve springs. Additionally, other performance parts such as an intake manifold and headers are required to achieve the best performance results.
