COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CRS 288R

When you're looking to get serious performance out of your Chrysler LA-series engine, this COMP Cams K-Kit is a comprehensive package designed to get you there. What you get in this box is everything needed to swap in a new camshaft and supporting valvetrain components: the camshaft itself, lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, a timing chain set, and even assembly lube for flat tappet applications, plus decals and instructions. This kit is specifically built around the CRS 288R solid roller camshaft, a popular choice for street/strip builds that demand significant power gains.

This camshaft is well-suited for engines with a 9.5:1 to 10:1 compression ratio, particularly in 340 and 360 cubic inch displacements. To really make this cam shine, you'll want to pair it with a high-stall torque converter (around 3500 RPM) and an aftermarket intake manifold capable of feeding a 750+ CFM carburetor. The solid roller design means you're getting less valvetrain friction and the potential for higher RPMs compared to a flat tappet setup, which translates to more power when you need it, whether you're on the street or at the drag strip.

This kit fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from the 1960s through the 1990s, including popular models like the Dodge Challenger, Plymouth Barracuda, and Chrysler Cordoba. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications and are prepared for the installation process, which typically involves removing the engine's front timing cover and potentially other components to access the camshaft and valvetrain.
