Product Details

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is designed for GM LT1 and LT4 engines. You get the camshaft itself, ready to be installed. It's a hydraulic roller type, meaning it uses roller lifters to reduce friction compared to flat tappet cams, which is a good upgrade for these engines. This particular grind, the XR258HR-12, is known for being a solid performer in factory LT1 setups.

When you swap this in, you can expect improved power and better fuel economy over your stock camshaft. The specs are 206 degrees of intake duration and 212 degrees of exhaust duration, with a 112-degree lobe separation angle. This combination is often chosen because it offers a noticeable bump in performance without requiring extensive modifications or a super-tuned setup. It's a well-built piece that's a popular choice for those looking to get more out of their LT1 without going too extreme.

This camshaft fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Chevrolet Corvette from the early to mid-90s. If you're looking to wake up your LT1 engine, this COMP Cams camshaft is a strong option to consider.
