COMP Cams Camshaft CS Nostalgia 30-30+

If you're looking to capture the classic exhaust note of the GM 30-30 cam while gaining improved power and modern tight lash settings, this COMP Cams CS Nostalgia 30-30+ camshaft is a solid option. It's designed for Chevrolet Small Block GEN 1 engines, offering a notable step up in performance over stock cams. This camshaft is a popular choice for builders aiming for that vintage sound and feel with updated internal performance characteristics.

This camshaft features a 247-degree intake and 254-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift, providing a strong powerband that's well-suited for street performance applications. The solid flat tappet design means it requires proper break-in procedures, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations carefully. It's built to fit a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327, but it's important to verify your specific engine's configuration, especially regarding factory roller setups or early 1955-1957 models which may have unique oiling requirements.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it's designed for engines that originally came with a flat tappet camshaft. If your engine was built from 1985 or later, it might have a factory roller setup, and you'll need to confirm this before installation. Early 1955-1957 265ci engines also have specific oiling groove requirements that this particular part number does not accommodate, so double-check your block's specifications.
