COMP Cams Camshaft Kit CS XS282S-10

This is the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft kit, part number SK12-678-4, designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines. It's a solid flat tappet camshaft kit that's a popular choice for street/strip applications, especially when you're looking to get more out of your engine. This kit is built for engines that can handle a more aggressive cam profile, typically those with a 2800+ RPM stall speed torque converter and a desire for improved exhaust flow, like headers and gears.

Inside this kit, you'll find the camshaft itself, a set of lifters, and a timing chain set, along with assembly lube and decals to help you get the job done. The camshaft features a 244/252 degree duration at .050 inch lift, which contributes to its aggressive nature and the rough idle you can expect. This cam is intended for engines that are already modified or are being rebuilt with performance in mind, and it pairs well with headers and gear changes to maximize its potential.

It's important to note that this kit fits a wide range of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Blocks, including popular displacements like the 350, 400, and 327. However, it does not fit LT1/LT4 engines or factory roller small blocks from 1985 and newer. You'll need to confirm if your specific engine uses a flat tappet or roller setup, as GM transitioned over time. For 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines, a specific oiling groove modification might be needed.
