COMP Cams Camshaft CS XE262H-10

If you're looking to get more out of your Chevrolet Small Block V8, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to give you a noticeable boost in torque and responsiveness, especially in street applications where you're running a carburetor and need good mid-range power. This cam aims for a balance, offering improved performance without sacrificing too much drivability or making the idle too rough for daily use.

The XE262H-10 grind features a 218-degree intake and 224-degree exhaust duration at 0.050 lift, with a lobe separation of 110 degrees. This setup is known for creating strong torque, particularly in the 350ci to 356ci range with around 9.25:1 compression, and it works well with performance heads and intake manifolds. COMP Cams' Xtreme Energy lobes open faster than stock, which helps improve throttle response and broadens the powerband, giving you more usable power across a wider RPM range. It's built to be durable for daily driving while still bridging the gap between mild street cams and more aggressive race-only profiles.

This camshaft fits a wide variety of Chevrolet Gen 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 262, 283, 305, 327, and 350. It's important to confirm your engine uses a flat tappet valvetrain, as it's not compatible with factory roller camshafts found in many later model engines. For the best results, consider pairing this camshaft with COMP Cams roller rockers and matched valve springs.
