COMP Cams Camshaft CS Nostalgia 300Hp+

This is the COMP Cams CS Nostalgia Plus camshaft, part number 12-670-4, designed for a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block engines from 1958 through 2002. If you're looking to recapture the sound and feel of those classic muscle cars from the '60s and '70s while still getting an improved power band and better throttle response than stock, this camshaft is a solid option. It uses updated design techniques to mimic the sound of factory 300 horsepower engines, but with a more usable power curve for today's driving.

This camshaft is built for hydraulic flat tappet lifters and works well with either a carburetor or a tunable fuel injection setup. While it offers a sound reminiscent of older performance cams, its lobe profiles are designed to be a bit less aggressive than some of COMP Cams' more extreme offerings, focusing on a strong area under the curve for consistent power delivery. It's a well-built component that aims to give you that nostalgic rumble and a noticeable bump in performance without requiring extensive modifications.

It's important to confirm your engine's lifter type before installation, as many later model Small Blocks (from '87 onward) came with provisions for roller lifters. This camshaft is specifically for flat tappet applications. If you're unsure, removing the intake or timing cover is the best way to check if your block is set up for roller lifters. This camshaft is not compatible with LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines.
