COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB Nx279HR-13

When you're looking to get serious performance out of your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB Nx279HR-13 is a complete package designed to get you there. This kit is built around the Nitrous HP 230/242 hydraulic roller camshaft, which is a popular choice for street performance builds that also plan to use a nitrous kit or a small supercharger. It's designed to work with a 2400+ stall torque converter and lower gear ratios, making it suitable for a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-80s, like the Chevrolet Impala, Chevelle, or C10 Pickup.

What you get in this K-Kit is everything you need to swap out your old flat tappet setup for a more efficient and powerful hydraulic roller system. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. COMP Cams also includes a timing chain set to ensure your timing is spot on, along with assembly lube and decals to help with the installation process. This comprehensive approach means you're not left scrambling for compatible parts; it's all laid out for you to make the job smoother.

This camshaft kit is engineered for high-performance street use, aiming to add over 150 horsepower when used with a nitrous kit or a small supercharger. The specific grind, with its 230/242 duration at .050 inch lift, is chosen to provide a strong powerband that pulls well past the mid-range, making it a solid option for drivers who want noticeable gains and a more aggressive engine feel. Remember that this kit is intended for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts and is not CARB approved, so it cannot be shipped to California.
