Product Details

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller camshaft and lifter kit is built around a 242/248 degree intake/exhaust duration profile, designed for street/strip applications where improved performance is desired. It's intended for engines with at least 9.5:1 compression, an upgraded intake manifold, headers, a higher stall torque converter (3200+ RPM recommended), and appropriate rear gearing to make the most of its powerband.

The kit includes the camshaft, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube, and decals. This setup is specifically for Small Block Chevrolet engines from 1987 and newer that came factory-equipped with a roller camshaft. It's not compatible with LT-1 or LS1 style engines. To get the most out of this cam, you'll want to ensure your engine is set up to breathe well, with good intake and exhaust flow, and that your drivetrain can handle the increased power, especially the torque converter stall speed and rear axle ratios.

This kit fits a wide range of vehicles from 1987 onwards, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and various C/K series trucks and Suburbans. It's a solid choice for enthusiasts looking to significantly enhance their engine's performance for both daily driving and occasional track use, provided the supporting modifications are in place.
