COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS XE 262H-1

This kit from COMP Cams gives you the camshaft and lifters you need to get your Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block running strong. Inside this box, you'll find the XE 262H-1 camshaft, a set of hydraulic flat tappet lifters, assembly lube to get everything started right, and some decals to show off your new parts. It's designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, covering a wide range of displacements from 262ci all the way up to 400ci.

The XE Computer Control camshaft profile is a popular choice for street performance, offering a noticeable bump in power and torque over stock, especially when paired with an upgraded exhaust and a custom chip, as recommended for TPI 305 or 350 engines. This particular grind, the 218 degrees of intake duration and 224 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 lift, provides a strong idle and good powerband for daily driving and occasional spirited runs. It's a well-built kit that balances street manners with improved performance.

Keep in mind that this kit is intended for engines with flat tappet camshafts. If your engine was built from 1985 onward, especially in Camaros, Firebirds, or Corvettes, it might have come with a factory roller camshaft. It's always a good idea to check your specific engine's configuration before installation to ensure proper fitment. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the fifth cam journal is required.
