Product Details

The COMP Cams 12-608-5 is a high-performance solid flat tappet camshaft specifically designed for oval track racing applications in Chevrolet small block engines. This camshaft delivers aggressive performance characteristics ideal for circle track and short track racing where mid-range to upper RPM power is critical.

Key Specifications:

  • Advertised Duration: 242°/250° (intake/exhaust)
  • Solid flat tappet design for maximum durability in racing conditions
  • Optimized lobe profiles for oval track competition
  • Designed specifically for Chevrolet small block V8 engines (262-400 cubic inches)
  • Requires solid lifters, performance valve springs, and proper break-in procedure

Performance Characteristics:

  • Strong mid-range torque for corner exit acceleration
  • Excellent top-end power delivery for straightaway performance
  • Split duration pattern (250° exhaust) aids in scavenging and power production
  • Suitable for 9:1 to 11:1+ compression ratios

This camshaft is engineered for serious racing applications and requires supporting modifications including performance valve train components, proper ignition timing, and carburetor tuning. Professional installation and proper break-in procedures are essential for optimal performance and longevity.
