COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB XR276HR-10

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance parts that help engines run better. This SK-Kit is their Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller camshaft kit designed for Chevrolet Big Block engines, specifically the 396 to 454 cubic inch displacements. If you're building a street machine and want to wake up your big block, this kit is a solid option. It replaces the original flat tappet camshaft with a hydraulic roller setup, which generally means less friction and better performance over time.

This kit includes the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a new timing chain set to ensure your camshaft and crankshaft stay synchronized, assembly lube to get everything started right, and decals. The XR276HR-10 camshaft has a 224-degree intake duration and a 230-degree exhaust duration at 0.050 inch lift, with 0.510 inch intake lift and 0.520 inch exhaust lift. For this camshaft to really shine, you'll want to pair it with an upgraded intake manifold, headers, a torque converter with at least a 2000 RPM stall speed, and appropriate rear-end gears. It's designed for engines originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts, and it fits a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles like the 1967-1975 Bel Air, 1967-1972 Biscayne, and 1973-1974 Blazer, among many others.

When installing this kit, make sure to follow the included instructions carefully, especially regarding the assembly lube and initial break-in procedure. This is a significant upgrade for your engine, and proper installation is key to unlocking its full potential and ensuring longevity.
