COMP Cams Camshaft CS 292XFI HR-13

COMP Cams is well-known for its performance camshafts and valvetrain components. This CS 292XFI HR-13 camshaft is built for Chevrolet Small Block engines, designed to give a terrific increase in performance, especially in street/strip applications. It’s part of their Xtreme Fuel Injection (XFI) line, featuring their newest and quickest lobe profiles, optimized for use in EFI applications. This means it works well with aftermarket cylinder heads and is tuned for wider lobe separation without losing responsiveness, making it a solid choice for builds aiming for wide-open throttle performance.

This camshaft is a hydraulic roller type, specifically designed for retro-fit link bar hydraulic roller lifters. It requires a minimum 2600+ RPM torque converter and works best with around 9.5:1 compression. A notable detail is that it’s optimized for use with a melanized or nitrided distributor gear; using cast iron or steel gears without similar surface treatments will void the warranty. This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Blocks from 1958-2002, including popular engines like the 350, 400, and 327, found in vehicles such as the Chevrolet C1500, Camaro, and Caprice. It's important to check your specific block for factory roller provisions, as some later model trucks and SUVs may have come with flat tappet lifters.

For those building a performance engine, this camshaft is a key component. To get the most out of it, ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications, including the appropriate distributor gear and a torque converter that can handle the increased RPM range. This camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
