Product Details

The COMP Cams XE272HR10 camshaft features a 218/224 degree intake/exhaust duration split, a design choice that helps it excel in the mid-range RPM band. This hydraulic roller camshaft is specifically made for Chevrolet 348 and 409 engines, making it a popular choice for street rod builds where improved mid-range torque and passing power are desired.

To get the most out of this camshaft, a 2000 RPM stall torque converter is recommended. While it produces a mild rough idle, which is characteristic of performance cams, the trade-off is a significant boost in usable power. For the best results, consider pairing it with an aftermarket intake manifold and headers, especially if your engine is running around 9:1 compression. This combination will help optimize airflow and allow the camshaft's performance characteristics to shine through.

It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and break-in procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
