Product Details

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is designed for AMC V8 engines, specifically the 290, 304, 343, 360, 390, and 401 cubic inch displacements. It's a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft that aims to improve your engine's performance, giving you excellent response and a good feel in the mid-range RPMs. You can expect a noticeable idle with this camshaft installed, letting you know there's something a bit more potent under the hood.

The XE262H10 profile is a popular choice for AMC V8 owners looking for an updated camshaft that offers a significant step up from stock without requiring extensive modifications or a radical idle. It's well-built for reliable performance and is designed to work with your existing hydraulic lifters. When considering a camshaft upgrade, it's important to ensure your valve springs and other valvetrain components are up to the task, as a more aggressive cam profile can put additional stress on them.

This camshaft fits a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, including models like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Wagoneer, and various AMC cars such as the AMX and Matador. Always consult your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed installation procedures and recommended valvetrain upgrades.
