BBC Gen VI Xtreme Hyd. Roller Cam XR288HR-10

The BBC Gen VI Xtreme Hyd. Roller Cam XR288HR-10 is designed for Big Block Chevy owners looking to maximize mid-range to high-end performance in Generation VI engines. This camshaft is an ideal choice for street and strip applications where significant power gains are required without sacrificing the reliability of a hydraulic roller setup. It bridges the gap between daily drivability and competitive performance, offering a substantial upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a more aggressive profile for their heavy-duty power plants. By utilizing the Xtreme Energy series technology, this cam provides the extra vacuum needed for power brakes while significantly increasing throttle response.

Engineered by COMP CAMS, this Xtreme Energy series camshaft features a lift of 0.521 inches on the intake and 0.540 inches on the exhaust side to optimize air flow. The duration of 288/294 degrees, combined with a 110-degree lobe separation angle, ensures efficient valve timing for high-performance combustion cycles. Its hydraulic roller design eliminates the need for frequent valve lash adjustments while providing a more aggressive lobe profile compared to traditional flat tappet alternatives. This design reduces internal friction within the engine, allowing for a more efficient transfer of energy and cooler operating temperatures during high-stress operation.

This specific model is tailored for Gen VI Big Block Chevy engines and operates optimally within a 2500 to 6000 RPM power band for versatile utility. It serves as a drop-in performance solution for builders looking to enhance torque and horsepower in heavy street machines or weekend track vehicles. Before you finalize your build, ensure your valve springs and drivetrain components are rated for the increased lift and duration of these technical specifications. Investing in this high-performance camshaft ensures your engine has the breathing room necessary to achieve its full potential on the road or the track.
