About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to wake up your Chevrolet Big Block engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is a solid choice. It's designed to give you a noticeable bump in torque and horsepower compared to older camshaft profiles, thanks to its quicker valve opening and increased area under the lift curve. This grind family is known for improving performance without making the engine difficult to drive daily, and it still provides enough vacuum for essential accessories like power brakes.

This particular camshaft, the XE268H-10, is a popular option for street machines. You can expect a slightly rougher idle than stock, which many enthusiasts appreciate for the sound and feel. While your stock torque converter might work, you'll see the best results with an aftermarket converter rated for 1800 RPM or higher. For the most significant gains, pair this camshaft with an aftermarket intake manifold, lower gear ratios, headers, and a free-flowing exhaust system.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet Big Block applications, including popular models like the C10 Pickup, Camaro, and Impala from the late 60s through the mid-70s. It's a well-built component that can make a real difference in how your engine performs.
