COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS 299T HR-7

When you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit, part number CL12-602-8, is a popular choice. This kit gives you the camshaft and matching hydraulic roller lifters to get the job done, along with assembly lube, decals, and instructions to help you through the process. It's designed for street/strip use and will create a very rough idle, so it's best suited for builds where aggressive performance is the priority.

This kit is built around the CS 299T HR-7 camshaft, which is a hydraulic roller design. For this cam to perform its best, you'll want to ensure your engine has at least 9.5:1 compression, a 2800+ RPM stall speed torque converter if you have an automatic transmission, and you'll need to pair it with a good intake manifold, rear gears, and headers. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine parts, and this kit is a solid option for those looking to significantly change their engine's character.

It's important to note that this kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 262, 283, 305, 327, 350, and 400. However, it does not fit LT1/LT4 engines or factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer. You'll need to check your specific block to confirm if it's a factory roller or a flat tappet design, as this kit requires a flat tappet block. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required.
