COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit OL 279T H-10

If you're looking to give your classic Oldsmobile V8 engine a more aggressive sound and improved street performance, this COMP Cams Thumpr camshaft and lifter kit is a solid option. This kit is designed to create that signature choppy, thumping idle that many enthusiasts love, while also offering a noticeable bump in power for street driving. It's a popular choice for those rebuilding or upgrading engines in a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Oldsmobile Cutlass, Buick LeSabre, and Chevrolet Camaro from the 1970s and 80s.

This kit includes the camshaft, hydraulic flat tappet lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions, so you have the essential components to get started. The camshaft features a 226/241 degree intake/exhaust duration, making it suitable for high-performance street applications. While it can work with a stock torque converter, COMP Cams recommends a 2000+ RPM stall converter and appropriate gearing for the best results and to really let this cam shine. The hydraulic lifters help ensure smooth operation and require less maintenance than solid lifters.

When installing this kit, remember that it's intended for off-road use and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be shipped to California. Make sure to consult the included instructions for proper installation procedures, and consider having a professional mechanic handle the job if you're not comfortable with engine work. This kit is a well-built upgrade that can significantly change the character and performance of your V8.
