Product Details

If you're building a serious Ford Big Block engine for blown alcohol or blown gas applications, this COMP Cams FF 308A-R12 camshaft is designed to handle the extreme demands. It's specifically intended for use in engines 500 cubic inches and larger, making it a strong choice for drag racing or other high-performance street/strip builds where maximum power under boost is the goal.

This camshaft features a mechanical roller design, which is crucial for the high lift and rapid valve events needed in blown applications. The 272 degrees of intake duration and 279 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 lift provide a broad powerband, while the aggressive lobe profiles are optimized for forced induction setups. COMP Cams is well-known for their expertise in camshaft technology, and this part reflects that experience, offering a well-built component that can withstand the pressures and heat associated with blown fuel engines. Remember, this camshaft is intended for competition use and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be legally shipped to California.

When installing a camshaft of this caliber, it's important to ensure all supporting components are up to the task. This includes a robust valvetrain, proper fuel system, and an engine management system capable of handling blown fuel. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and recommendations to get the most out of this high-performance camshaft.
