COMP Cams Camshaft A8 XE291HR-10

If you're looking to get more out of your AMC V8, this Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller camshaft from COMP Cams is a solid choice for a street-strip build. It's designed for larger displacement engines that have been upgraded with high compression, a performance torque converter, and appropriate gearing to handle the increased power. This camshaft is a key component for unlocking more power and torque, especially in the mid-to-upper RPM range.

This particular grind, the XE291HR-10, features a 236/242 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 inch lift. This specification is well-suited for engines that see a lot of street driving but are also intended for occasional track use. The hydraulic roller design means you get the performance benefits of roller lifters without the complexity and maintenance of solid lifters. It's a well-built piece from COMP Cams, a name known for performance camshafts.

This camshaft fits a wide range of AMC and Jeep vehicles from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, including popular models like the Jeep CJ series, Jeep Cherokee, and various American Motors cars such as the Ambassador and Matador. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific application. Because this is a performance part, it's always a good idea to consult with your engine builder or a trusted mechanic to ensure it's the right fit for your overall build goals.
