Product Details

If you're looking to wake up the performance of your Pontiac V8, this High Energy camshaft kit from COMP Cams is a solid option. This kit is designed for Pontiac 265 through 455 cubic inch engines, covering a wide range of classic vehicles like the Firebird, Grand Prix, and Catalina. It's a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, meaning it uses hydraulic lifters to automatically maintain zero valve lash, making it a popular choice for street-driven vehicles that need a good balance of power and drivability.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete K-Kit designed to give you everything you need for a successful installation. Inside, you'll find the P8 252H camshaft itself, along with a set of lifters, valve springs, retainers, and valve locks. COMP Cams also includes valve stem seals to ensure proper sealing, a timing chain set for accurate valve timing, and assembly lube to get everything started right. This comprehensive approach means you won't be scrambling for extra parts, and it helps ensure all the components are matched for optimal performance and longevity.

The P8 252H grind is a well-known camshaft profile that offers a noticeable improvement in torque and horsepower over stock, particularly in the mid-range RPMs. It's a popular choice for street performance builds where you want a stronger pull without sacrificing too much in terms of idle quality or fuel economy. While this kit is designed for a broad spectrum of Pontiac V8s, it's always a good idea to check the detailed fitment list to confirm it's the right choice for your specific vehicle. Remember, this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
