What kind of idle can I expect with this camshaft?

This COMP Cams camshaft is designed for mild street performance and will produce a slight, noticeable lope at idle. This gives the engine a classic performance sound without being overly aggressive for daily driving.

What else might I need to install this camshaft kit?

The kit includes the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube, decals, and instructions. For optimal performance and longevity, it's recommended to use a torque converter with at least an 1800 RPM stall speed and consider installing lower rear-end gears. Always follow the manufacturer's installation and break-in procedures.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1985 Ford LTD a bit more punch for street driving, this COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit is a solid choice. This kit centers around a hydraulic roller camshaft designed for mild street performance, meaning you'll get a noticeable improvement in power without sacrificing too much drivability. You can expect a slight, pleasing lope at idle, which is a classic sound for a performance engine.

This particular camshaft, the FW 270H-R10, is part of COMP Cams' Magnum line and features a 215/215 degree duration split, making it well-suited for a stock torque converter, though you'll see even better results if you pair it with an aftermarket converter that stalls around 1800 RPM or higher. For optimal performance with this cam, it's also recommended to have lower rear-end gears installed in your vehicle. The kit comes complete with the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube to ensure a smooth break-in, decals, and installation instructions, so you have the essentials to get the job done.

This kit is designed for Ford 5.0L Windsor engines. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in procedures.
