Product Details

The COMP Cams 12-506-5 is a high-performance solid flat tappet camshaft designed specifically for Chevrolet small block engines. This tight lash cam features aggressive duration specs of 259 degrees intake and 262 degrees exhaust, delivering excellent mid-range to upper RPM power for street/strip applications.

Key Features:

  • Solid flat tappet design for maximum performance and reliability
  • 259°/262° advertised duration provides strong power band
  • Tight lash specifications reduce valvetrain noise and maintenance
  • Optimized lobe profiles for improved throttle response
  • Ideal for modified small block Chevy engines with upgraded valve springs
  • Excellent choice for street performance and weekend racing applications

This camshaft requires compatible valve springs, lifters, and proper valvetrain setup. Designed for engines with compression ratios of 9.5:1 and higher, this cam works best with aftermarket heads and performance induction systems. The tight lash design minimizes valvetrain clatter while maintaining the performance characteristics of a solid lifter cam.

very easy and fast purchase but concerned as fedex requires no signature for delivery and is not careful to which house yard it leaves packages in the front of ,so far anyway.

Glad I found Autoplicity.com. Big potential...<br><br>Ordered parts on Friday, missed 1st delivery attempt to office yesterday (Weds), but received today (Thurs). Little slow on the shipping, but not in a rush for these parts. We typically receive UPS pkgs in 1-2 bus days from Chicago suburbs to Metro Detroit. This took a bit longer, but again - it was not a problem & well worth the savings.<br> <br>Wish web-site would actually separate items for just my car vs all vehicle matches. Finding what I wanted was very difficult, but I'm very pleased with pricing & follow through. I've been back on Autoplicity 2 times now looking for add'tl parts for another vehicle, but have yet to locate them amongst the 100's - even 1000's of results that do not match. If finding them were easier & these add'tl items offer similar savings, I would have spent hundreds more by now. <br><br>If this is a new company, hopefully they can correct the advanced search option as well. Entering a part by vendor name should net results when the brand is listed on the home page & can be found in general queries. Even when I entered the part # for an item it shows no results, but again - searching several dozen pages, I am able to find the same part #. The savings were worth the headache it took to find the brake pads for my BMW, so I won't give up just yet. <br><br>Thanks Autoplicity! Here's to a potentially great future!!

By far the lowest price i've seen on the web for what i have been trying to get, the Injen SRI for my juke. Great price fast shipping! Ill buy all my car stuff here from now on.

Easy order placement, fast shipment
