COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS Nx268H-13

If you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Small Block GEN 1 engine, this COMP Cams Nitrous HP Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. It's designed for street machines that want a noticeable bump in horsepower, aiming for over 125 extra HP. You'll get that classic choppy idle that many enthusiasts love, and it's built to work with a 2200+ RPM stall torque converter, appropriate gearing, and other supporting modifications.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete package to get your engine breathing better. Inside this K-Kit, you'll find the NX268H camshaft itself, along with hydraulic flat tappet lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. To ensure proper timing, a new timing chain set is included, and for the initial startup, you get assembly lube. COMP Cams also throws in decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is specifically for GEN 1 Small Block Chevy engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 to 400 cubic inches. It's important to verify your block is a flat tappet design, as many later models (1985 and newer) switched to factory roller camshafts, which this kit is not compatible with.

For those building a street machine with a flat tappet GEN 1 Small Block, this kit offers a comprehensive solution. It's a significant upgrade that will change the character of your engine, providing more power and a more aggressive sound. Remember to check your specific engine's oiling groove on the 5th cam journal, especially for 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, as they may require a modification for proper lubrication.
