Product Details

This is the COMP Cams CS Nr288HR-13 camshaft, part number 08-303-8. It's a hydraulic roller camshaft designed for OE roller Small Block Chevrolet engines, specifically the 305 and 350 cubic inch V8s found in a wide range of vehicles from 1987 onwards, excluding LT-1 and LS1 variants. If you're looking to significantly boost your engine's performance, especially with nitrous oxide systems, this camshaft is a solid choice. It's engineered to work with factory roller lifters, simplifying installation compared to retro-fit roller setups.

When you install this camshaft, you can expect a notable increase in horsepower, particularly when paired with a 175+ horsepower nitrous system. COMP Cams specifies that this cam works well with a 2500+ RPM stall torque converter, especially when combined with lower rear-end gears and aftermarket headers. This combination allows the engine to take full advantage of the camshaft's improved airflow characteristics and broader powerband. The camshaft itself is the primary component here; other supporting modifications like a new torque converter, gears, and exhaust system are recommended to maximize its potential.

This camshaft is a cam-only product, meaning it does not include lifters, valve springs, or retainers. You'll need to ensure you have compatible components or purchase them separately to complete the installation. It's important to note that this part 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 to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
