COMP Cams Camshaft CS XR282HR-10

COMP Cams is well-known for its performance valvetrain components, and their Xtreme Energy camshaft line is a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to get more out of their engine. This particular camshaft, the CS XR282HR-10, is designed for Small Block Chevy engines with factory roller camshafts from 1987 and newer, excluding LT-1 and LS1 variants. It's built to give your street machine a noticeable boost in performance.

The Xtreme Energy profile features a quicker valve opening and more area under the lift curve compared to older camshaft designs. This translates to increased responsiveness and gains in both torque and horsepower. Importantly, COMP Cams designed this grind family to improve performance without sacrificing everyday driveability. You'll still have adequate vacuum for accessories like power brakes and other vacuum-dependent systems. While it works well in carbureted setups, you'll see the best results when paired with an aftermarket intake manifold, lower gear ratios, headers, and a free-flowing exhaust system. For optimal performance with this camshaft, a torque converter with a 2500+ stall speed is recommended.

This camshaft is a solid option for street machines and is compatible with a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles from 1987 onwards, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and GMC Suburban. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For installation, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details regarding your engine build.
