COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CB XR296H-R12

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Big Block engine, especially in a jet boat application for bracket racing or performance use, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for the 396-454 cubic inch engines that originally came with flat tappet camshafts, and it's a popular upgrade for those seeking improved performance. The XR296H-R12 camshaft features a 242/248 degree duration at .050 inch lift with a 112-degree lobe separation angle, making it well-suited for applications like jet boats with A or B impellers.

This is a complete kit, so you won't need to hunt for individual parts. Inside, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a new timing chain set to ensure your valve timing is spot on, assembly lube to get everything started right, and even some decals and instructions. The hydraulic roller design means less friction and wear compared to older flat tappet designs, contributing to better reliability and performance over time. This kit is a significant upgrade for your engine's breathing capabilities, aiming to change how your engine performs.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from the late 1960s through the mid-1990s that are equipped with the 396-454 Big Block engine. While it's particularly suited for marine use, it can also be a great option for performance street or bracket racing applications. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
