COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit CS XR292

When you're looking to get the most out of your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XR292 Solid Roller Cam and Lifter Kit is a solid choice. What you get in this kit is everything you need to get started: the camshaft itself, a set of solid roller lifters, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals for that finishing touch. This kit is designed for performance builds, specifically targeting Pro Street applications where a good intake and exhaust system, 11:1 or higher compression, and a 3500 RPM stall converter are already in place.

This kit is built around the XR292 camshaft, which features a 254-degree intake duration and 260-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift. It's a solid roller design, meaning it uses roller lifters that significantly reduce friction compared to flat tappet designs, allowing for more aggressive cam profiles and higher RPM operation. This translates to improved performance and efficiency. The kit is intended for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches. It's important to note that this kit is not compatible with factory roller camshaft engines, including LT1/LT4 and most Small Blocks from 1985 and newer, as GM gradually introduced roller systems. You'll need to confirm your engine's configuration by removing the intake manifold or timing cover.

For those building a serious street machine or a dedicated drag car, this kit offers a significant performance upgrade. Remember that for 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the fifth cam journal is required; contact COMP Cams for details if this applies to your build. This kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
