COMP Cams Camshaft FW XE258HR-14

If you're looking to get more out of your Ford 5.0L or 351W engine, especially for towing or improving fuel economy in a stock application, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is a solid choice. It's designed to work with your factory roller camshaft setup, offering a noticeable power bump without requiring extensive modifications. This camshaft is computer-controlled, meaning it's optimized for modern engine management systems, ensuring smooth operation and efficient combustion.

This particular camshaft, the XE258HR-14, features a 206-degree intake duration and a 212-degree exhaust duration, with a 114-degree lobe separation angle. These specs are chosen to provide good power in the lower to mid-range RPMs, which is exactly what you want for towing or everyday driving where you need responsive torque. It's a well-built component that can handle the demands of regular use, and it's a popular option for owners looking for an improved driving experience without going full race build. You'll find it fits a range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Mustang, and Mercury vehicles such as the Cougar and Colony Park.

When installing this camshaft, remember it's designed for engines that already have a factory roller camshaft system. It's important to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully to ensure proper timing and operation. While this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California, it's a great way to enhance the performance and usability of your Ford V8.
