COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS Nr288HR-13

When you're ready to unlock more power from your Small Block Chevy, this COMP Cams Camshaft Kit K-Kit is a comprehensive solution. Inside this box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure your engine's timing is spot on, plus assembly lube and decals to help with the installation. This kit is designed for Small Block Chevy engines built from 1987 onwards that originally came with a factory roller camshaft, like those found in many Chevrolet Camaros, Corvettes, and pickup trucks.

This particular camshaft, the CS Nr288HR-13, is a hydraulic roller grind with a 236-degree intake and 248-degree exhaust duration. It's a popular choice for builds aiming for a significant power increase, especially when paired with a nitrous system, where it's rated to add over 175 horsepower. For street performance, it works well with a 2500+ RPM stall torque converter and a good set of headers. The hydraulic roller design means less friction and more efficient operation compared to older flat tappet designs, contributing to both performance and longevity. COMP Cams is well-known for their camshafts, and this kit bundles all the essential components you'll need for a complete camshaft swap, making the process smoother.

This kit is intended for '87 and newer GEN 1 Small Block Chevys with factory roller camshafts. It's important to note that this kit is not compatible with LT-1 or LS1 style engines. For optimal performance, COMP Cams recommends a 2500+ stall speed torque converter and headers. Remember to consult the included instructions for proper installation procedures.
