COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS Nx288HR-13

This COMP Cams camshaft kit is built around a hydraulic roller camshaft with a 236-degree intake duration and 248-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. This specific grind, the CS Nx288HR-13, is intended for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines and is designed to work well with nitrous systems, recommending a 175+ HP shot. It also pairs nicely with torque converters in the 2500+ RPM range, especially when combined with lower rear-end gears and headers.

The SK-KIT includes everything you need to get started: the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, a complete timing chain set, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and decals. This kit is a solid option for builders looking to significantly improve their engine's performance, particularly in applications where a nitrous oxide system is planned. It's important to verify your engine's original configuration, as this kit is for flat tappet blocks and does not fit factory roller blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines.

For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, ensure there is a groove on the fifth cam journal for proper oiling; contact COMP Cams for details if your engine requires this. This kit is designed for a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block displacements, from 262 up to 400 cubic inches, offering a substantial performance upgrade for many classic builds.
