Product Details

This COMP Cams XFI 286 camshaft is designed for GM LS engines, specifically for applications like the popular LS1 and LS6, but it also fits a wide range of other Gen III, IV, and V displacements including 4.8L through 7.0L.

This camshaft is compatible with a broad spectrum of GM vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Silverado, and Cadillac CTS, among many others. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
