COMP Cams Camshaft CS XR288HR-10

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines. You'll get the camshaft itself, ready to be installed in your engine. It's built for street and strip applications, aiming to give your engine a noticeable bump in performance, especially when paired with other upgrades like headers and a higher stall torque converter. Expect a rougher idle, which is typical for cams with these specifications, indicating a more aggressive profile.

This camshaft features a 236-degree intake duration and a 242-degree exhaust duration, with a 110-degree lobe separation angle. These specs are suited for engines with around 9:1 compression and are designed to work well with a torque converter rated at 2800 RPM or higher, and with appropriate gearing. It's a hydraulic roller design, which generally offers better performance and durability compared to flat tappet cams. This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 327, and 400 cubic inch variants.

It's important to confirm your engine's compatibility before purchasing. This camshaft is intended for engines that do not have a factory-installed roller camshaft setup. If your engine was built from 1985 onward, it's crucial to check if it has a flat tappet or roller setup, as this cam is designed for flat tappet blocks. It will not fit LT1/LT4 engines or any LS-based engines. For early 265 cubic inch engines from 1955-1957, ensure there is an oiling groove on the fifth cam journal.
