COMP Cams Camshaft FW 286H-R10

This COMP Cams FW 286H-R10 camshaft is a solid choice if you're building a street/strip 5.0 or 351 Windsor engine for your 1985 Ford LTD, Mustang, or Mercury Capri. It's designed for applications that have been upgraded with an aftermarket intake and exhaust system, and it works best when paired with a 5-speed transmission or a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed. For optimal performance, you'll also want to run rear gears with a ratio of 4.10 or lower, especially if you've increased the engine's compression.

This camshaft features a hydraulic roller design, which generally offers better performance and durability compared to flat tappet cams. The lift and duration are set up for a good balance between street drivability and strip performance, making it a popular option for enthusiasts looking to get more out of their classic Ford V8. Remember that this camshaft is intended for modified engines, so ensure your other components can support its performance characteristics.

When installing this camshaft, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to ensure its longevity. Also, note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the COMP Cams installation instructions for detailed guidance.
