Product Details

This is the COMP Cams High Energy/Marine camshaft, part number 31-218-2, designed for Ford 221 to 302 cubic inch small block engines. It's a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft that offers a good balance for daily driven performance vehicles, focusing on mid-range power gains. If you're looking to wake up your classic Ford or a boat engine, this camshaft can make a noticeable difference.

With a 218/218 degree duration at 0.050 inch lift, this cam is built to provide improved performance in the mid-RPM range, which is where most street driving happens. It's also noted to work well with slightly lower gear ratios, helping to put that mid-range power to the pavement effectively. You can expect a mild, slightly rough idle with this camshaft, which is characteristic of performance cams and adds to the aggressive feel of the engine.

This camshaft is suitable for single or dual engine marine applications, and is a popular choice for inboard/outboard setups. While it offers a noticeable idle and improved performance, it's important to note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Ensure you check manufacturer fitment data to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle or application.
