COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XR282HR-10

COMP Cams has built a reputation for making serious performance engine parts, and this Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller camshaft kit is a prime example. This is a complete package designed to wake up your Small Block Chevy engine, specifically those from 1987 and newer that came with a factory roller camshaft. It's a popular choice for street machines looking for a noticeable bump in power and torque, but it's built to handle more than just casual driving.

This kit, part number K08-432-8, includes everything you need to get the job done: the camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. You'll also find a timing chain set to ensure proper synchronization, assembly lube, and even some decals and instructions to guide you. The XR282HR-10 camshaft has a duration of 230 degrees on the intake and 236 degrees on the exhaust, with a lift of .550" on both sides. This profile is designed to work best with a 2500+ RPM stall torque converter and requires supporting modifications like an upgraded intake manifold and headers to really shine. It's a well-built setup that's ready for a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and C1500 Suburban from the late 80s and 90s.

When installing this kit, remember that it's intended for engines with a factory roller camshaft setup and is not compatible with LT-1 or LS1 style engines. To get the most out of this camshaft, you'll want to ensure your vehicle has the necessary supporting modifications like an upgraded intake, headers, and appropriate gearing. This kit is a solid option for anyone looking to significantly improve their engine's performance for street use.
