Built for the demands of a flat tappet system, this camshaft is well-suited for a wide range of Chevrolet and GM vehicles from the 1950s through the mid-1990s, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Caprice. It's engineered to work well with higher axle ratios, helping to put that improved torque to good use. Remember to confirm your engine uses a flat tappet valvetrain, as factory roller camshafts were gradually introduced in the mid-80s and became more common in later models.
