COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XS268S-10

When you're looking to wake up the performance of your Chevrolet Small Block Gen 1 engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Camshaft Kit is a solid choice. This kit gives you everything you need to get the job done, including the camshaft itself, lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, valve stem seals, and a timing chain set. It's designed for street machines and works with a stock torque converter, though it performs best with a 2000 stall converter. This kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, from the 262 all the way up to the 400 cubic inch displacement.

The XS268S-10 camshaft is a solid flat tappet design with a 230/236 degree duration at .050 inch lift. This profile offers a noticeable improvement in throttle response and power, especially in the mid-range, making it great for street performance applications. COMP Cams is well-known for their camshafts, and this kit includes all the necessary components to ensure a proper installation and reliable performance. You'll also find assembly lube included for flat tappet applications, along with decals and instructions to guide you through the process.

It's important to note that this kit is intended for engines with flat tappet camshafts. It does not fit factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer, nor does it fit any LS-based engines. If you're unsure about your engine's configuration, it's best to remove the intake manifold or timing cover to confirm whether it uses a flat tappet or roller camshaft. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove on the fifth journal is required; contact COMP Cams for details on this application.
