COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS 292XFI HR-13

This COMP Cams kit gives you the camshaft, lifters, timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals needed to upgrade your Chevrolet small block engine. It's designed for street/strip applications, offering its best performance when the throttle is wide open. To get the most out of this camshaft, especially at higher RPMs, you'll want to ensure your engine has at least 9.5:1 compression and a torque converter rated for 2600 RPM or higher.

The CS 292XFI HR-13 camshaft features a hydraulic roller design with intake and exhaust lobes specified at 242 and 248 degrees of duration, respectively. This setup is built for performance, and it's important to note that it's intended for engines that originally used a flat tappet camshaft. Many GM small blocks from the mid-80s onward gradually transitioned to roller camshafts, so it's a good idea to remove your intake or timing cover to confirm your block's original setup before installation. This kit is not compatible with factory roller blocks or LS-based engines.

For optimal performance and longevity, it's recommended to have all necessary supporting modifications in place, such as an upgraded fuel system and potentially stronger valve springs. This kit is a solid choice for enthusiasts looking to extract more power from their classic Chevrolet small block, particularly for drag racing or track use where wide-open throttle operation is common.
