COMP Cams Camshaft Cadillac XE285HR-10

COMP Cams is well-known for performance engine components, and their Xtreme Energy line offers a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to get more out of their engines. This XE285HR-10 hydraulic roller camshaft is specifically designed for Cadillac 425, 472, and 500 cubic inch engines, particularly those that have been modified with higher compression, a performance torque converter, and appropriate gearing. It's considered an excellent all-around high-performance camshaft for these setups.

This camshaft features a 230-degree intake duration and 236-degree exhaust duration, which are key specifications that help determine how the engine breathes and performs at different RPMs. As a hydraulic roller camshaft, it offers reduced friction compared to flat tappet designs, contributing to better performance and potentially longer engine life. The XE285HR-10 is intended for engines that have already seen performance upgrades, such as increased compression ratios, to take full advantage of its improved airflow characteristics. It's a solid option for those rebuilding the top end of their modified Cadillac V8.

This camshaft is designed as a direct fit for a range of Cadillac models from 1968 through 1979, including the Commercial Chassis, DeVille, Fleetwood, and Eldorado, as well as the Calais. Please note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's important to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and to ensure all necessary supporting modifications are in place for optimal performance and reliability.
