COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CRB XS290S-1

When you open this box, you'll find a COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XS290S-1 Cam and Lifter Kit. Inside, there's the camshaft itself, a set of lifters designed to work with it, assembly lube to get things started right, and some decals and instructions to guide you. This kit is built for Chrysler B and RB engines, covering a wide range of vehicles like the Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda, and Chrysler New Yorker from the late 50s through the late 70s.

This isn't your average camshaft kit; it's aimed at max effort street and bracket racing applications. To get the most out of it, COMP Cams suggests you'll want around 10.5:1 compression, a 3500+ RPM stall speed torque converter if you're running an automatic, and low gear ratios. The XS290S-1 is a solid flat tappet camshaft designed to make serious power when paired with the right supporting modifications. It's a well-built component for those looking to push their engine's performance limits on the strip or on the street.

Installing a camshaft like this is a significant undertaking, often involving the removal of the engine or at least the front end. Make sure you have the necessary tools and a good understanding of engine mechanics, or plan to have a professional mechanic handle the installation. Following the included instructions carefully will be key to a successful build and ensuring the longevity of your new valvetrain.
