Description
The COMP Cams CB Nx298HR-13 camshaft is specifically designed for Chevrolet GEN IV 396-454 big block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. It features an oiling groove in the rear journal, ensuring proper lubrication for models such as the 1965-66 396 c.i.d. variants. This design detail is crucial for maintaining engine performance and longevity in high-performance applications. The camshaft is optimized for use with melanized or nitrided distributor gears, which provides enhanced durability and reduces wear. Using incompatible cast or steel gears without similar surface treatments can lead to premature failure and void warranty coverage. This camshaft is ideal for engines equipped with nitrous systems producing over 200 horsepower, superchargers of 671 cubic inches or larger, compression ratios above 9.5:1, and torque converters with stall speeds exceeding 2800 RPM. Its specifications are tailored to maximize power output and reliability in high-performance settings, making it a preferred choice for engine builders and enthusiasts seeking to upgrade their big block engines.
