Product Details

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft features a 212 degrees of intake and exhaust duration on a 110-degree lobe separation angle. It's a hydraulic flat tappet design specifically for Chevrolet's 262 cubic inch (4.3L) V6 engine, commonly found in a wide range of trucks and vans from the mid-80s through the late-90s. This cam is well-suited for applications where you need a good balance of power for highway cruising, towing duties, or even off-road use, especially if your truck is geared for lower RPM operation.

The 212 degrees of duration is a popular choice because it offers a noticeable improvement in performance over stock without making the engine too difficult to manage for daily driving. It's designed to work with the factory hydraulic lifters, making installation more straightforward than a solid lifter cam. This camshaft is a solid option for those looking to wake up their 4.3L V6 for more versatile performance.

When installing a new camshaft, it's always a good idea to replace your lifters and consider new valve springs to match the cam's profile. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper break-in procedures and any specific hardware recommendations.
