COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS Nr276HR-1

This COMP Cams hydraulic roller camshaft and lifter kit is built around a 224-degree intake and 236-degree exhaust duration profile, designed to work with factory roller camshaft setups in Small Block Chevrolet engines from 1987 and newer, excluding LT-1 and LS1 variants. This specific grind is intended for builds that plan to use nitrous oxide or a small supercharger, aiming for a significant horsepower increase, especially when paired with low rear-end gears and a torque converter with a stall speed above 2200 RPM. It’s a well-built package for those looking to extract more performance from their engine.

Included in this kit is the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters that reduce friction compared to flat tappet designs, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals. This kit is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to add over 125 horsepower, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles including older Chevrolet Camaros, Corvettes, and various C/K series trucks and SUVs from the late 80s through the mid-90s. The hydraulic roller design means you won't need to worry about frequent valve adjustments, offering a more maintenance-free experience once installed.

When considering this camshaft, remember that it's designed for performance applications and often requires supporting modifications such as headers and an upgraded exhaust system to breathe properly. The extended description notes that this kit is best suited for vehicles with low gears and a stall converter over 2200 RPM, which helps keep the engine in its power band during acceleration. This is a comprehensive kit for a serious engine upgrade.
