COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS Nx288HR-13

COMP Cams has built a reputation for making serious performance engine parts, and this hydraulic roller camshaft kit is a prime example. If you're working on a Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine and looking to significantly boost its performance, especially with a nitrous system, this kit is designed for that purpose. It's built to handle nitrous systems of 175+ horsepower and pairs well with a 2500+ RPM stall torque converter, especially when you've got lower rear-end gears and headers installed.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete K-Kit, meaning you get everything you need to get the job done right. Inside the box, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of 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. This comprehensive approach means you won't be scrambling for extra parts during installation, making the process smoother.

This kit is specifically for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, covering a wide range of displacements from 262 all the way up to 400 cubic inches. It's important to note that this kit is for engines with a flat tappet camshaft setup. GM began phasing in factory roller camshafts in the mid-80s, so if your engine is a 1985 or newer 305 or 350, you'll need to confirm whether it has a factory roller setup or a flat tappet cam before ordering. Removing the intake manifold or timing cover is the best way to check. This kit does not fit LT1/LT4 engines or any LS-based engines.
