COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XE268H-10

COMP Cams is well-known for performance engine components, and this Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is a popular choice for Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines. If you're looking to wake up your street machine with improved performance, this kit is designed to do just that. It's a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, meaning it uses traditional lifters and requires proper break-in procedures to ensure longevity.

This kit includes the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, a timing chain set for proper valve timing, assembly lube to get everything started right, and decals. The XE268H-10 camshaft has a 224/230 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 lift, making it a strong performer for street applications. It's often considered the largest cam you can run with a stock torque converter, but you'll see even better results with a 2000+ stall speed converter. This kit fits a wide range of classic Chevrolet engines like the 262, 283, 305, 327, and 350, but be sure to verify your specific engine is a flat tappet design, as later models (1985 and newer) may have factory roller cams.

When installing this kit, remember that flat tappet camshafts require a specific break-in procedure to properly seat the lifters and prevent premature wear. Always refer to the included instructions for the correct steps. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to get more out of their classic Chevrolet V8.
