COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 280XFI HR-13

If you're building a "Hot Street" Chevrolet Small Block and looking to significantly improve its performance, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed for Gen 1 Small Block Chevy engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 all the way up to 400 cubic inches. It's important to verify if your engine uses a factory roller camshaft or a flat tappet system, as this kit is intended for flat tappet blocks, though it can be adapted. Removing the intake or timing cover is the best way to confirm your block's configuration.

This kit centers around the CS 280XFI HR-13 hydraulic roller camshaft, which features a 230-degree intake and 236-degree exhaust duration at .050 lift. This profile is well-suited for street performance applications, offering a noticeable bump in power and torque. To get the most out of this camshaft, COMP Cams recommends upgrading your intake manifold and exhaust system, and a 2500+ RPM stall torque converter is also advised. The kit comes complete with the camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, decals, and installation instructions, making it a comprehensive package for your engine build.

It's crucial to note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Also, be aware that 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal; contact COMP Cams for details if this applies to your build. This kit is designed for a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, including those found in many trucks, muscle cars, and classic vehicles from the 1980s and early 1990s, but it will not fit LT1/LT4 or later factory roller small blocks, nor any LS-based engines.
