COMP Cams Nitrided Camshaft CS 275Ma-S6

This COMP Cams Nitrided Camshaft CS 275Ma-S6 is a solid flat tappet camshaft designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines. You get the camshaft itself, which is nitrided for increased wear resistance. This camshaft is intended for builds aiming for more performance, particularly in applications with larger displacement engines and supporting modifications like better intake manifolds, cylinder heads, headers, and carburetors. It's a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their classic Chevy V8.

The nitriding process hardens the surface of the camshaft, which helps it stand up better to the friction and wear associated with flat tappet lifters. This camshaft features a 248-degree intake duration and a 256-degree exhaust duration, measured at 0.050 inch lift. This profile is designed to work well in larger displacement engines, offering improved performance, especially in the mid to upper RPM range, and is best suited for vehicles with fast-cornering tracks or performance-oriented driving. It's important to ensure your engine is set up to handle this camshaft's demands, including proper valvetrain components and exhaust systems.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and smaller V8s. However, it is crucial to verify your specific engine's configuration. This camshaft is not compatible with factory roller camshaft blocks, which became common in the mid-1980s and later, nor is it for any LS-based engines. Always confirm your block type by removing the intake or timing cover before installation.
