What kind of power gains can I expect with this camshaft?

This camshaft is designed to provide improved mid-range power. While specific gains depend on your engine's overall setup and tuning, it's intended to give your Big Block more grunt in the RPM range where you'll use it most often.

Does this camshaft require custom tuning?

Yes, this camshaft is designed to work with your vehicle's computer but will benefit significantly from custom tuning. To achieve optimal performance and ensure proper engine operation, custom tuning is recommended, especially when paired with headers.

What is the advantage of a hydraulic roller camshaft?

Hydraulic roller camshafts use roller lifters that reduce friction and wear compared to traditional flat tappet designs. This allows for more aggressive cam profiles, better performance, and increased longevity for the camshaft and valvetrain components.

Product Details

This is the COMP Cams XR270HR-13 hydraulic roller camshaft, designed for Chevrolet and GMC Gen VI Big Block engines from 1996 through 2000. If you're looking to improve the performance of your big block, this camshaft is a solid option for gaining noticeable power in the mid-range. It's a popular choice for builders who want more grunt without sacrificing too much drivability.

The XR270HR-13 features a 218-degree intake duration and a 224-degree exhaust duration, with a 113-degree lobe separation angle. This specific lobe profile is optimized for computer-controlled engines, meaning it works well with your vehicle's factory ECU. While it's designed to work with the stock computer, you will likely see improved results and need custom tuning to get the most out of it, especially when paired with headers. This camshaft is built with a hydraulic roller design, which reduces friction and wear compared to flat tappet cams, allowing for more aggressive profiles and better performance over time.

This camshaft is intended for applications where mid-range power is a priority, making it suitable for trucks and muscle cars that see a lot of street driving. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance, consider pairing this camshaft with a good set of headers and ensure your engine management system is properly tuned to take advantage of its capabilities.
