COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CB XS282S-10

If you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft and lifter kit is a solid option. This kit is designed for street/strip applications and is built for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, like those found in many Chevrolet Bel Air, Impala, and Chevelle models from the late 60s through the mid-70s. It’s a popular choice for builders aiming for a noticeable bump in power, especially when paired with headers and appropriate rear-end gearing.

The Xtreme Energy camshaft in this kit features a 244-degree intake and 252-degree exhaust duration, which contributes to its aggressive, rough idle. This profile is intended to work well with a stall converter of 3000 RPM or higher, making it suitable for vehicles that see more track time than daily driving. The kit comes complete with the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals for that authentic COMP Cams look. It’s a comprehensive package for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their engine's valvetrain.

When installing a camshaft like this, remember that it's designed to work best with supporting modifications. You'll want to ensure your exhaust system can handle the increased flow, and a higher stall speed torque converter is recommended to keep the engine in its power band. This kit is a significant upgrade for performance-minded builders looking for that classic Big Block rumble and a strong power curve.
