COMP Cams Camshaft Ford V6 3.8 259HR115

This COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft features a 204-degree intake and 216-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, making it a solid choice for Ford 3.8L and 4.2L V6 engines. As a hydraulic roller camshaft, it uses roller lifters to reduce friction compared to flat tappet designs, allowing for more aggressive lobe profiles and improved performance. This design is well-suited for street performance applications where you want a noticeable bump in power without sacrificing too much drivability.

The Xtreme Energy line from COMP Cams is known for its ability to provide a good balance of power and street manners. This particular grind, the 259HR115, is designed to work with the factory hydraulic roller valvetrain, simplifying installation. You can expect improved throttle response and a broader power band, especially in the mid-range, which makes a difference when you're accelerating from a stop or passing on the highway. It’s important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's always a good idea to inspect your valve springs and potentially upgrade them to match the camshaft's lift and duration. This ensures optimal performance and longevity for your engine build. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine components, and this camshaft reflects their commitment to providing parts that offer a real improvement for your V6 Ford.
