COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 290HR-12

If you're looking to wake up the performance of your '87 and newer Small Block Chevrolet engine with a factory roller camshaft, this COMP Cams CS 290HR-12 Hydraulic Roller Cam Kit is a solid option. This kit is designed for street/strip applications, meaning it's built to perform well in both daily driving and at the drag strip. It features a computer-controlled hydraulic roller camshaft with a 230-degree intake and 244-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, which is a popular profile for improving power without being overly aggressive for street use.

This is a complete K-Kit, so it includes everything you need to get the camshaft installed and running. You'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also comes with a timing chain set to ensure your valvetrain stays synchronized, and assembly lube to help with the installation process. COMP Cams is well-known for their camshafts, and this kit reflects their commitment to providing well-built components for performance engine builds.

Because this camshaft profile is designed for improved performance, it requires some supporting modifications to work correctly. You'll need a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed, lower gearing in your rear differential, and custom tuning for your engine's computer. This kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet and Buick vehicles from the late 80s through the mid-90s, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice, as well as Buick Roadmaster models. Make sure to check the fitment data to confirm it's right for your specific application.
