COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS Nx288HR-1

When you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS Nx288HR-1 is a solid option. Inside this kit, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube to get everything started right, and decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is designed for engines that can benefit from an updated camshaft profile, aiming to improve performance, especially when paired with a nitrous system or a higher stall torque converter and headers.

The camshaft in this kit features a hydraulic roller design, which generally offers better performance and durability compared to flat tappet designs. It has a nitrous horsepower rating of 175+ and is recommended for use with a 2500+ stall torque converter, especially if you're running lower gears and headers. This particular grind, the Nx288HR-1, is intended for engines that don't have factory roller camshafts from the mid-80s onward, so it's important to check your specific engine block. For example, it fits many Chevrolet engines like the 350, 400, 305, and 327, but you'll need to confirm if your block is a factory roller or flat tappet by removing the intake or timing cover. Engines from 1955-1957 with a 265 displacement may require a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal.

This kit is a significant upgrade for performance builds and is well-suited for a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block applications, including many trucks, muscle cars, and custom builds. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the included instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures to ensure the longevity and performance of your new camshaft and lifter setup.
