COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CB XR296H-R1

This COMP Cams hydraulic roller camshaft and lifter kit, with a 242/248 degree duration, is built for Chevrolet Big Block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, specifically the 396 to 454 cubic inch displacements. It's a solid choice for jet boat applications with A or B impellers, whether you're competing in bracket racing or simply looking for improved performance. The kit includes the camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, making it a comprehensive package for your engine build.

The hydraulic roller design offers significant advantages over older flat tappet systems. Roller lifters reduce friction and wear on the camshaft lobes, allowing for more aggressive cam profiles that can generate more power. This particular grind is well-suited for performance applications, offering a noticeable bump in power and torque compared to stock. It’s designed to work with engines originally fitted with flat tappet cams, meaning it’s a direct upgrade path for many classic Chevrolet big blocks, including those found in vehicles like the Chevrolet Impala, Chevelle, and Camaro from the late 60s through the mid-70s.

When installing this kit, it's important to follow the included instructions carefully, especially regarding the assembly lube and initial break-in procedure to ensure the longevity of the new components. This kit is a substantial upgrade for anyone looking to enhance the performance of their big block Chevrolet, offering a well-rounded package for demanding applications.
