What kind of supporting modifications are recommended for this camshaft?

For optimal performance, COMP Cams recommends this camshaft for engines with 10:1 or higher compression ratios, a 3000+ RPM stall speed torque converter, an aftermarket intake manifold, headers, and appropriate rear-end gearing.

Is this camshaft suitable for daily driving?

While designed for street/strip use, its aggressive profile makes it best suited for vehicles that see regular use but also demand significant performance. A 3000+ RPM stall converter is recommended, which may affect low-speed drivability for some daily drivers.

Does this camshaft come with lifters and valve springs?

This listing is for the camshaft only. Hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs, retainers, and other valvetrain components are sold separately and must be chosen to match the camshaft's specifications.

Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XR294HR-10 hydraulic roller camshaft, designed for Ford 429 and 460 Big Block engines. It's a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to significantly improve their engine's performance, especially in street/strip applications. This camshaft is built to work with engines featuring 10:1 or higher compression ratios, a 3000+ RPM stall torque converter, and supporting modifications like aftermarket intake manifolds and headers.

The XR294HR-10 features a 242-degree intake duration and a 248-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with .572 inches of lift on both the intake and exhaust sides. These specifications are carefully chosen to provide a strong powerband that pulls hard through the upper RPM range, making it suitable for vehicles that see regular use but also demand serious performance at the drag strip. As a hydraulic roller camshaft, it offers reduced friction and wear compared to flat tappet designs, contributing to its longevity and efficiency. This camshaft is intended for use with a 3000+ RPM stall speed torque converter to keep the engine in its power band during acceleration.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 1960s through the late 1970s, including models like the Ford LTD, Mercury Marquis, and Lincoln Continental. For optimal performance and reliability, ensure your engine is set up with the necessary supporting components, such as a performance intake, headers, and appropriate gearing. Remember that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
