COMP Cams Camshaft CB XS290S-10

COMP Cams is well-known for performance camshafts and valvetrain components. This Xtreme Energy camshaft, part number 11-679-5, is designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, covering a wide range of vehicles like the Chevrolet C10 Pickup, Camaro, and Impala from the late 60s through the mid-70s. It's a solid flat tappet camshaft with a 252-degree intake and 260-degree exhaust duration, intended for those looking to build a Pro Street or bracket racing setup.

This camshaft is built for performance, requiring a good intake system, headers, appropriate gearing, and a 3500+ RPM stall torque converter to really shine. Its specifications are geared towards maximizing power in a performance-oriented build. The solid lifter design means it's a more mechanical setup, often favored for its direct feel and potential for higher RPM operation when properly supported.

When considering this camshaft, remember it's part of a system. To get the most out of it, ensure your engine's supporting components are up to the task. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and break-in procedures.
