COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 280XFI HR-13

This is the COMP Cams CS 280XFI HR-13 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft Kit, designed for 1987 and later Chevrolet small block engines with factory roller camshafts. This kit is built to give your engine a strong mid-range and top-end power band, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve performance beyond stock specifications. It’s important to note that to get the most out of this camshaft, you'll need to pair it with headers, appropriate rear-end gears, and a torque converter with a higher stall speed. You should also expect a strong idle and plan for custom engine tuning to optimize its performance.

This comprehensive kit includes everything you need to get the job done right. You’ll find the CS 280XFI camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To ensure proper timing, a new timing chain set is also included. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is provided, along with decals and detailed instructions to guide you through the installation process. This kit is a well-built package that aims to simplify the camshaft upgrade for a wide range of Chevrolet and Buick vehicles from the late 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Buick Roadmaster.

When installing this camshaft kit, remember that it requires supporting modifications to achieve its full potential. Headers are essential for improved exhaust flow, and the gear ratio and torque converter stall speed need to be matched to the camshaft's operating range. Custom tuning is also a critical step to ensure the engine runs efficiently and safely with the new camshaft profile. This kit is a significant upgrade for your small block Chevy, offering a noticeable improvement in power delivery for those who are ready to commit to the necessary supporting modifications.
