Product Details

This COMP Cams CS280TLS-6 camshaft is a solid flat tappet design intended for Chevrolet Small Block engines. It's built for demanding applications like drag racing, specifically suited for tracks ranging from 3/8 to 1/2 mile where high sustained RPMs are common. To get the most out of this camshaft, it pairs best with a large carburetor and an efficient intake manifold.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block V8s, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327. It's designed for engines built before the widespread adoption of factory roller camshafts, generally pre-1985, though some trucks and SUVs retained flat tappet designs into the mid-90s. It's important to confirm your block's configuration, as this camshaft does not fit LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines. Additionally, 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a specific oiling groove on the rear journal, which this particular camshaft does not have; please contact us if your application requires this feature.
