Product Details

The COMP Cams 12-523-5 is a solid flat tappet camshaft specifically designed for oval track racing applications with Chevrolet small block engines. This low-lift profile delivers excellent throttle response and maintains strong power through the mid-range, making it ideal for circle track racing where consistent, controllable power is critical.

Camshaft Specifications:

  • Advertised Duration: 242° Intake / 250° Exhaust
  • Lift: Low lift design optimized for oval track racing
  • Tappet Type: Solid flat tappet
  • Application: Chevrolet Small Block V8 engines
  • Intended Use: Oval track and circle track racing

Performance Characteristics:

  • Broad, usable powerband for consistent lap times
  • Excellent throttle response for tight track conditions
  • Moderate duration keeps power predictable and controllable
  • Solid lifter design provides valvetrain stability at racing RPM

This camshaft is designed to work with stock or mildly modified cylinder heads and valve springs appropriate for solid flat tappet operation. The conservative lift profile reduces valvetrain stress while maintaining competitive power output for oval track competition.

Very pleasant order over the phone. Gentleman was smart, cheerful and helpful.

fast shipping. shipped the correct item. thanks autoplicity. hope to be buying again soon

Just what you want from a merchant but don't expect; fast, courteous service and attention to the details of your order. I'm a happy consumer. Thank you, Autoplicity. I'll be back.

Autoplicity cares about there customers. I ordered a flash programmer and got to the last page and never got a confirmation of the order. I used the website chat and talked to somebody about it right away. So I ordered again and got a conformation. But both went though. Autoplicity called me next day a.m. to see if I made a mistake. Thanks for letting me know and correcting to one order. Saved me from shipping back a product I dind't need.

Good products with low prices. Easy website and pament options.

Exact product as promised with the best price on the internet. Product shipped fast and had a tracking number to keep me up to date on my order. I would order from again without hesitation and will tell friends.
