COMP Cams Camshaft LT1 266HR-14

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft, part number 07-304-8, features a 210/220 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. This is a hydraulic roller camshaft designed for GM LT1 and LT4 engines, offering a noticeable increase in performance over the factory camshaft. It's a solid option for those looking to get more out of their stock or lightly modified LT1 engine, providing improved power and responsiveness without requiring extensive modifications.

The Xtreme Energy line from COMP Cams is well-known for delivering a strong performance bump. This particular grind is engineered to work well in factory LT1 applications, meaning it's a popular choice for owners of vehicles like the Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and various Buick and Cadillac models from the mid-90s. While it provides a significant improvement over stock, it's still manageable for daily driving in many setups. You can expect a more aggressive idle and a broader powerband compared to the original cam.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's important to ensure all supporting components are in good condition. This includes checking valve springs, lifters, and pushrods to match the camshaft's specifications for optimal performance and longevity. While this camshaft is designed as a direct fit for many LT1 applications, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance and recommended component pairings to achieve the best results.
