COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XR292R-10

When you're looking to get more performance out of your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit includes the CS XR292R-10 solid roller camshaft, a set of lifters, a timing chain set, assembly lube, and decals. It's designed for engines like the 350, 400, and 327, offering an improved power band for those seeking a more aggressive feel.

The XR292R-10 camshaft itself features a 254-degree intake and 260-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with a .574 inch intake and .574 inch exhaust lift. This profile is well-suited for street performance applications where you want a noticeable bump in power, especially in the mid to upper RPM range. Because it's a solid roller design, you can expect more aggressive valve lift and duration compared to hydraulic flat tappet cams, which translates to better airflow and more power. Remember, solid roller cams require proper valve springs and pushrods to match, and they generally need more frequent adjustment than hydraulic lifters.

This kit is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Blocks, covering many engines from 1980 through 1996, including popular choices like the 350, 305, and 400 cubic inch V8s found in vehicles like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Caprice. It's important to verify your specific engine is a flat tappet design, as this kit is not compatible with factory roller camshaft engines from 1985 and newer, or LS-based engines. If you're rebuilding your top end and want a proven camshaft package, this COMP Cams kit bundles the essential components to get you started.
