Comp Cams Part Number 12-423-8 is an Xtreme Energy 224/230 hydraulic roller camshaft designed for Chevrolet Small Block 262–400 engines (1958–1998). Built for high-performance street applications, this camshaft delivers strong torque, excellent throttle response, and improved vacuum while maintaining a choppy performance idle.
