COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS 268XFI HR

COMP Cams is well-known for its performance camshafts and valvetrain components. This XFI 218/224 Hydraulic Roller Cam and Lifter Kit is designed for Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engines, offering a notable increase in low-end torque and very good mid-range power. It's considered the largest cam suitable for a stock torque converter, making it a popular choice for builds looking to maximize performance without extensive modifications.

This kit includes the camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, providing a comprehensive package for your engine build. The XFI series camshafts are engineered for improved performance, and this particular grind, the 268XFI, balances street drivability with significant power gains. Keep in mind that for optimal performance with this cam, an upgraded gear drive and exhaust system are recommended, as noted by the manufacturer.

This kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327. It's important to verify your engine's original configuration, as GM transitioned to roller camshafts in many models from the mid-1980s onward. This kit is specifically for engines with flat tappet camshafts; if your engine came with a factory roller camshaft (like many 1985 and newer 305s and 350s), this kit will not be compatible. Always confirm your block's configuration by removing the intake or timing cover if you are unsure.
