COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 252XFI HR-13

This COMP Cams CS 252XFI HR-13 camshaft kit is built around a hydraulic roller camshaft featuring a 202-degree intake and 212-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. This design choice is key to its excellent off-idle performance and strong torque output, making it a popular choice for rebuilding or upgrading Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, particularly those in the 305 or 350 cubic inch range that use a TBI setup. It’s designed to give you that extra grunt right from the start, which is noticeable in everyday driving and especially when you need to get moving from a standstill.

When you choose this K-Kit, you're getting a complete package to ensure a smooth and successful installation. It includes not just the camshaft itself, but also the necessary hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To round out the kit, you'll find a timing chain set, assembly lube for proper break-in, and even some decals and instructions. This comprehensive approach means you won't be scrambling to find compatible parts, as everything is selected to work together for optimal performance and reliability. It fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, including popular engines like the 350, 327, and 305, but it's important to verify if your specific block is a factory roller or flat tappet, as this kit is designed for flat tappet blocks or those being converted to roller setups.

This kit is a solid option for those looking to extract more power and torque from their classic Chevrolet. It’s particularly well-suited for applications where immediate throttle response and strong low-end pull are desired. Remember to check your engine's specific configuration, especially if it's a 1985 or newer model, to ensure compatibility with this hydraulic roller setup.
