COMP Cams Camshaft CS 270Xos-8

Starting with a 240-degree intake and 246-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift, this COMP Cams CS 270Xos-8 solid flat tappet camshaft is built for Chevrolet Small Block engines. It’s designed for 327-358 cubic inch displacement with around 9:1 compression, typically paired with a 2-barrel carburetor and iron intake and exhaust manifolds. This camshaft is a popular choice for oval track racing and performance street applications where a solid lifter setup is desired.

This camshaft utilizes a fast track lobe design, meaning the lobes open the valves more quickly than stock cams. This can lead to improved throttle response and a more aggressive power band, especially in the mid-to-upper RPM range. The solid lifter design requires more precise valve adjustment but offers a more direct feel and can handle higher lift profiles. It's well-built for demanding use, making it a solid option for builders looking to extract more power from their Gen 1 Small Block Chevy.

It's important to note that this camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, including popular displacements like the 350 and 400 cubic inch engines. However, it does not fit LT1/LT4 or factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines. Early 1955-1957 265ci engines also require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal that this particular camshaft does not feature. Always confirm your engine's configuration before ordering.
