COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 280R

If you're looking to build a serious street/strip performance engine for your classic Chevrolet, this COMP Cams CS 280R Solid Roller Cam Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262ci up to 400ci. It's a mechanical roller camshaft, meaning it's built for higher performance and durability compared to flat tappet designs, and it will give your engine a noticeable, choppy idle that lets everyone know it means business.

This kit includes the camshaft, a set of lifters, and a timing chain set, along with assembly lube and decals to help you get the job done right. The CS 280R camshaft itself features a 236 degrees of duration on both the intake and exhaust sides, making it well-suited for engines with around 9.5:1 compression. For optimal performance and to handle the demands of a solid roller setup, you'll want to pair this with a mild stall torque converter and headers. It's important to verify your engine is a flat tappet design, as this kit is not compatible with factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, or any LS-based engines.

This is the 'Small Kit' (SK) version, which provides the essential components for a camshaft upgrade. Remember that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures to ensure the longevity of your new performance camshaft.
