COMP Cams Camshaft FW 270Bh-R12

If you're looking to get more out of your Ford Windsor V8, a camshaft upgrade like this COMP Cams FW 270Bh-R12 can make a notable difference. This camshaft is designed to work with Ford's small-block Windsor engines, commonly found in Mustangs, Fairlanes, and many other classic Ford and Mercury vehicles. It's built to offer improved performance over stock, giving your engine a more aggressive feel and sound, especially when you're pushing it harder.

This particular camshaft features a 270 degree intake and exhaust duration, with a 112-degree lobe separation angle. This setup is often chosen for street performance applications where you want a noticeable bump in power, particularly in the mid-range and upper RPMs, without sacrificing too much drivability. The 'FW' in the part number indicates it's designed for Ford Windsor engines, and the 'R12' refers to the 112-degree lobe separation angle. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance engine parts, and this camshaft is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine's breathing and power output.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's important to have the right supporting components. You'll typically need new valve springs, and it's a good idea to replace your timing set at the same time. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on lobe separation angle, valve lift, and any break-in procedures required to ensure the longevity of your new camshaft and valvetrain. Keep in mind this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
