Product Details

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is designed for Chevrolet Small Block engines, offering a significant upgrade over stock. You'll get the camshaft itself, ready to be installed in your engine. It's built to bridge the gap between mild street cams and aggressive race cams, providing a noticeable boost in performance for your carbureted street machine. This camshaft is a popular choice for those looking to improve their engine's torque and responsiveness without sacrificing too much in terms of idle quality or daily drivability.

The XE268H-10 features quicker opening lobe profiles, which means better responsiveness and a broader powerband. This design also helps maintain good vacuum levels, allowing for a step up in duration for greater performance. While it works with stock converters, it performs even better with a 2000+ RPM stall speed torque converter, and it's best paired with COMP Cams roller rockers and matched valve springs for optimal results. For the best overall performance, plan on complementing this camshaft with other performance parts like an upgraded intake manifold and headers.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Chevrolet GEN 1 Small Block engines, including popular displacements like the 350, 305, and 400. It's important to verify if your engine uses a flat tappet or factory roller camshaft, as this cam is designed for flat tappet applications and will not work with factory roller setups from 1985 and newer. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding compatibility and installation.
