COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XS262H-10

If you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to give you improved response, a strong mid-range pull, and a noticeable idle that lets everyone know you mean business. It's a popular upgrade for a wide range of classic Chevrolet and GM vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and Buick Regal, as well as trucks and commercial chassis vehicles from the late 80s and early 90s.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete package to get your engine breathing better. Inside, you'll find the CS XS262H-10 camshaft itself, along with a full set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, and valve locks. It also includes valve stem seals and a timing chain set to ensure everything is synchronized correctly. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is included, along with decals and detailed instructions to guide you through the installation process. This kit is built with the understanding that a camshaft upgrade requires supporting components for optimal performance and reliability.

It's important to note that this kit is specifically for flat tappet camshaft engines. Chevrolet and GM gradually transitioned to roller camshafts starting in the mid-80s, with many trucks and SUVs continuing with flat tappet designs well into the 90s. You'll need to confirm your specific engine uses a flat tappet setup before installation, as it does not fit factory roller small blocks or the later LS-based engines. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the 5th cam journal is required, so check your block's specifications.
