COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB XE256H-10

When you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this complete camshaft kit from COMP Cams is a solid option. This kit includes the XE256H-10 camshaft, which is part of their Xtreme Energy line, designed for improved performance. You'll get everything you need to get the job done: the camshaft itself, hydraulic lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also comes with a timing chain set to ensure proper synchronization, assembly lube for flat tappet applications, and decals. This kit is specifically for Chevrolet Big Block engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, covering a range of vehicles like the Chevrolet Impala, Chevelle, and Corvette from the late 60s through the mid-70s.

The XE256H-10 camshaft features a 212 degrees of intake duration and 218 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with a .462 inch intake lift and .462 inch exhaust lift. This profile offers a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall power, especially in the mid-range, without being overly radical for street use. The included hydraulic lifters and valve springs are matched to the camshaft's specifications, ensuring reliable operation and proper valve control. COMP Cams is well-known for their camshafts, and this kit bundles all the necessary components, simplifying your build process and ensuring compatibility between parts.

Installing a camshaft kit like this is a significant undertaking, and it's important to follow the included instructions carefully. Make sure your engine was originally equipped with a flat tappet camshaft, as this kit is not designed for roller camshaft applications. While this kit is designed for a wide range of Chevrolet Big Block applications, it's always a good idea to double-check the specific fitment for your vehicle. This kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
