COMP Cams Camshaft CBVI Tri-Power Xtreme 262HR-14

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Big Block GEN VI engine, a camshaft upgrade is a solid way to go. This COMP Cams Tri-Power Xtreme camshaft is designed to optimize horsepower while maintaining good torque and average fuel economy, making it a well-rounded choice for performance builds. It's a hydraulic roller camshaft, which generally offers better performance and durability compared to flat tappet designs.

This particular camshaft, the 262HR-14, features an intake duration of 210 degrees and an exhaust duration of 218 degrees, measured at 0.050 inch lift. The 114-degree lobe separation angle helps to create a strong powerband that can be felt across a wide range of RPMs. It's built with a focus on delivering noticeable improvements in power output without sacrificing too much drivability, which is a common goal for many performance engine builds. This camshaft fits a range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans from the mid-to-late 90s, including models like the C2500 Suburban, K2500, and Express 3500.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's important to ensure you have all the necessary supporting components. This often includes new lifters, valve springs, and pushrods that are matched to the camshaft's specifications to achieve optimal performance and reliability. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on proper setup and break-in procedures.
