COMP Cams Camshaft FW 284H-R14

If you're building a supercharged Ford 5.0 or 351W engine and looking to get the most out of your heads, intake, and headers, this COMP Cams camshaft is a solid choice. It's a hydraulic roller camshaft, which means it uses roller lifters to reduce friction and allow for more aggressive lobe profiles compared to flat tappet cams. This particular grind, the FW 284H-R14, is specifically tuned for boosted applications, offering a 224/230 degree intake/exhaust duration at .050 lift. This duration is well-suited for combinations running a 3.55 to 3.73 gear ratio and a mild torque converter stall speed, helping to maximize power under boost.

This camshaft is designed to work with factory roller camshaft setups, making installation more straightforward for many Ford Windsor engines. The material and manufacturing process behind COMP Cams products are well-known in the performance world, aiming for durability and consistent performance. When you install a camshaft like this, you're changing the breathing characteristics of your engine, which can significantly impact how it performs across the RPM range, especially when under the pressure of a supercharger. It's a key component for unlocking the potential of a modified engine.

This camshaft is intended for off-road use and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and to ensure proper operation, it's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for details on valve springs, pushrods, and other necessary components that should be matched to this camshaft profile.
