COMP Cams Nitrided Camshaft CS XM 278H
Description
COMP Cams Xtreme Marine camshafts take advantage of the newest developments in camshaft engineering. Their aggressive lobe design produces better throttle response and top-end horsepower than other cams with the same duration at .050 in., while delivering increased engine vacuum. These cams are available for everything from pleasure boats to race applications, so you can always enjoy Xtreme performance on the water. From hydraulic and mechanical, to flat and roller tappet, COMP Cams offers camshafts for your watercraft dating as far back as the 1950s.

GM gradually added roller camshafts to 305's and 350's from the mid 80's forward.

Remove the intake or timing cover to confirm whether the block is a factory roller or flat tappet. Does not fit the LS1, LS2, LS3 or any LS-based 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 and 6.2. 1955-1957 Chevrolet 265 engines require a groove on the 5th cam journal for oiling. Contact us for more information.
