Product Details

If you're looking to get more low-end torque and better economy out of your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this COMP Cams High Energy camshaft is a solid option. It's designed for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, offering a noticeable improvement in pulling power from a stop and while cruising, without sacrificing too much fuel efficiency.

This camshaft features a 206/206 degree duration with a hydraulic flat tappet design, which means it provides a very smooth idle and is generally easier on your valvetrain compared to solid lifter cams. It's particularly well-suited for 396-402 cubic inch engines when paired with stock transmission and gear ratios, making it a popular choice for street-driven vehicles that see a lot of daily use. The well-built nature of this COMP Cams camshaft means you can expect consistent performance and reliability.

Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Also, if your 1965-66 396 Big Block has an oiling groove in the rear journal, this specific part number will not fit. For those specific applications, you'll need to contact us directly to find the correct camshaft.
