COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 292XFI HR-13

This COMP Cams XFI 242/248 hydraulic roller camshaft kit is built around a camshaft featuring 242 degrees of intake duration and 248 degrees of exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. This specific lobe profile is designed for street/strip applications, offering its best performance at wide-open throttle. To make the most of this camshaft, it's recommended to pair it with a 2600+ RPM stall torque converter and a compression ratio around 9.5:1, ensuring optimal power delivery when you need it most.

This kit is a comprehensive package, including everything you need to swap out your old camshaft and related components. 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 precise valve timing. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is included, along with decals and detailed instructions to guide you through the installation process. This kit is designed for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches, but it's important to verify your specific block is not a factory roller setup from 1985 or later, as this kit is intended for flat tappet blocks.

When installing this kit, remember that it's intended for engines that can handle wide-open throttle performance. While it fits many Chevrolet Small Block applications, including those found in vehicles like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and various C-series trucks, it's crucial to confirm your engine's configuration. If your engine was built from 1985 onward and may have a factory roller camshaft, you'll need to inspect the block to determine if it's a roller or flat tappet design. This kit is not compatible with LT1/LT4 or LS-based engines. For early 265 cubic inch engines from 1955-1957, ensure there's a groove on the fifth cam journal for proper oiling.
