Product Details

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the performance of your Chevrolet or GMC Big Block Gen VI engine, this COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for those building a serious performance engine, especially when paired with ported cylinder heads. It’s a complete package that includes the camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essentials to get started on your build.

The XE Comp Control camshaft in this kit features a 224-degree intake and 232-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with a .558-inch intake and .564-inch exhaust lift. This profile is engineered to work well with ported heads, helping to improve airflow and power output. Because this is a more aggressive camshaft profile, it requires a serious valve train upgrade to handle the increased stress and to ensure proper operation. You'll also need a torque converter with at least a 2200 RPM stall speed and an engine programmer to properly tune the fuel and ignition for optimal performance and drivability.

This kit fits a range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans from 1996 through 2000, including models like the C2500 Suburban, K2500, and Express 3500. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications, such as upgraded valve springs, pushrods, and a compatible torque converter, before installation to get the most out of this performance camshaft kit.
