COMP Cams Nitrided Camshaft CB 295T H7

If you're building a street/strip Chevrolet Big Block for serious performance, this COMP Cams Nitrided Camshaft CB 295T H7 is a solid choice. This camshaft is designed for the 396-454 cubic inch engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, offering a significant upgrade over stock for those looking for more aggressive performance. It's a hydraulic flat tappet design, meaning it uses standard lifters and is a popular choice for many performance builds.

The 'Big Mutha' Thumpr' series is known for its aggressive nature, and this particular cam, with its 243/257 degree intake/exhaust duration, is built for a street/strip application. To get the most out of it, you'll need to pair it with at least 9.5:1 compression, a torque converter with a 2800+ RPM stall speed, a good intake manifold, and headers. Expect a very rough idle, which is a characteristic of cams this aggressive, signaling that it's ready to make power.

The nitrided finish on this camshaft adds a layer of durability, helping it resist wear and prolonging its life in your engine. This cam is a great option for a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from the late 60s through the 70s and even into the early 80s, including popular models like the Chevelle, Impala, and C10 pickups, as long as they originally came with a flat tappet setup.
