Product Details

This is the COMP Cams CS 280XFI HR Hydraulic Roller Cam and Lifter Kit, designed for 1987 and newer Chevrolet Small Block engines that came with factory roller camshafts. If you're looking to significantly improve your engine's breathing and power output, especially in the mid-range and at higher RPMs, this kit is a solid choice. It's built to give your engine a strong pull through the powerband, but it's important to know that this level of performance upgrade will require supporting modifications to really shine.

Inside this kit, you'll find a camshaft specifically ground for hydraulic roller lifters, along with the necessary lifters to match. COMP Cams is well-known for their camshafts, and this one is designed to create a noticeable difference in how your engine performs. To get the most out of this cam, you'll definitely want to pair it with headers, a gear change in your rear end, and a torque converter with a higher stall speed. The kit also includes assembly lube to help ensure a smooth installation and break-in process, along with decals and instructions to guide you.

Be aware that installing a camshaft like this is a significant job that often requires removing the engine or at least the front timing cover and cylinder heads. Because it changes the engine's breathing characteristics so much, you will also need to have the engine's computer custom tuned to optimize performance and ensure it runs correctly. This kit is intended for off-road use and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be legally shipped to California.
