COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 280XFI HR-13

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine parts, especially camshafts that help engines breathe better and make more power. This particular kit, the CS 280XFI HR-13, is built for Small Block Chevy engines from 1987 and newer that came with a factory roller camshaft. It’s designed to give you a noticeable boost in the mid-range and top end of your RPM band, making it feel much stronger when you’re accelerating or cruising at higher speeds.

This kit is a comprehensive package to get you started on a significant engine upgrade. It includes the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a complete timing chain set to ensure your valvetrain stays synchronized, assembly lube to protect parts during initial startup, and even some decals and instructions to help guide you. To really unlock the potential of this camshaft, you'll need to pair it with headers, a gear change in your rear end, and a higher stall speed torque converter if you have an automatic transmission. Expect a strong, noticeable idle with this setup, and remember that a custom tune for your engine's computer will be necessary to get the most out of these improved breathing characteristics.

This kit fits a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Buick Roadmaster from the late 80s through the mid-90s, as long as they have the correct OE roller small block engine. It's a solid option if you're looking to significantly improve your engine's performance and are prepared to make the supporting modifications for optimal results.
