– COMPETITION CAM 08-422-8: 1,600–5,400 RPM | .495″/.502″ LIFT | 110 LSA: This camshaft is the core of the kit, specifically optimized for maximum street torque. You should buy this to gain a significant increase in usable power, ensuring your engine remains eager and responsive in the RPM zones that matter most for street driving.
– PREMIUM REDLINE ROLLER LIFTERS: High-velocity ramps require superior internal hardware. You need these lifters because their precision-ground axles and oversized bearings are engineered to survive the increased lift of the 08-422-8 without hydraulic bleed-down or valvetrain noise.
– CHOPPY HOT-ROD IDLE: The 110° LSA is ground for more than just performance; it provides a nasty, rapid-fire exhaust note. It gives your Small Block a distinct mechanical heartbeat that identifies it as a high-performance machine the moment you turn the key.
– INSTANTANEOUS THROTTLE “SNAP”: Because the Xtreme Energy design opens valves faster and deeper than stock, the engine responds to your foot with immediate urgency. You will feel a violent surge of torque that stays linear and powerful all the way to the redline.
– STREET-FRIENDLY DRIVEABILITY: This profile is a true “no-compromise” street build. It works perfectly with factory-style torque converters and gears, making it the ideal choice for a daily driver that needs a massive performance boost without losing its road manners.

Description
The Street Specialist: Torque Where You Need It The Competition Cams 08-422-8 is engineered for the Chevy Small Block builder who wants immediate throttle response and a massive boost in low-to-mid range acceleration. Specifically designed for 1987–1995 O.E. roller blocks, this kit replaces restrictive factory profiles with an Xtreme Energy grind. It is the perfect solution for a heavy street car or a daily-driven hot rod that needs to break tires loose without requiring high-stall converters or steep rear-end gears.
Technical Precision and Power Delivery This camshaft operates in a broad, usable 1,600 to 5,400 RPM power band. It features a .495″ intake lift and a .502″ exhaust lift with a tight 110° Lobe Separation Angle (LSA). This technical configuration is ground to maximize cylinder pressure and exhaust scavenging, creating a power curve that feels “thick” and responsive. Unlike peaky race cams, the 08-422-8 delivers its punch exactly where you spend most of your time driving.
The Drive: High-Velocity Response and A Nasty Idle Behind the wheel, the first thing you’ll notice is the aggressive, rhythmic lope at idle. The 110° LSA gives your exhaust that signature “muscle car” chop that commands attention. On the move, the engine’s character is transformed; the sluggishness of a stock cam is replaced by an instantaneous mechanical snap. You’ll feel a sustained, forceful surge of torque the second you touch the gas, making the car feel hundreds of pounds lighter during acceleration.
The Performance Synergy: Precision Lifter Pairing To handle the aggressive ramp speeds and lift of the 08-422-8, this kit includes Premium Redline Roller Lifters. These lifters feature hardened steel axles and high-capacity needle bearings designed to maintain absolute valvetrain stability at 5,400 RPM. This pairing ensures that your engine stays in perfect synchronization, providing the mechanical foundation for long-term reliability and consistent performance.
