COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Kit FW XR270Rf-H

This COMP Cams kit gives you everything you need to get a new camshaft and lifters installed in your Ford 351W engine. Inside the box, you'll find the Xtreme Energy XR270Rf-H hydraulic roller camshaft, a set of matching hydraulic roller lifters, assembly lube to get everything started right, and decals for your engine bay. This kit is designed to give your engine good mid-range performance, making it a solid choice if you're running 3.23 or numerically higher gears and a stock torque converter or one with at least an 1800 RPM stall speed. You can expect a noticeable idle with this camshaft.

The Xtreme Energy series from COMP Cams is well-known for providing a good balance of performance and streetability. This particular grind, the XR270Rf-H, is a popular option for Ford 351 Windsor engines looking for an improved powerband, especially in the crucial mid-range where you do a lot of your driving. The hydraulic roller design means less friction and wear compared to flat tappet cams, and it allows for more aggressive lobe profiles, which contribute to the improved performance. Installation will require careful attention to the included instructions to ensure proper break-in and longevity of the new components.

When installing this camshaft and lifter kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure precisely. This typically involves running the engine at a specific RPM range for a set period immediately after installation to properly seat the lifters and lubricate the camshaft lobes. Make sure you have all the necessary supporting components, such as valve springs that match the camshaft's lift and duration, and consider replacing your timing set at the same time for peace of mind. Please note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
