COMP Cams Camshaft FW XE266HR-12

COMP Cams is a well-known name when it comes to getting more performance out of your engine, and this Xtreme Energy XE266HR-12 camshaft is a prime example of their work. This is a hydraulic roller camshaft designed for Ford 5.0L and 351W engines that came factory-equipped with roller lifters. It features a 216-degree intake duration and a 224-degree exhaust duration, making it a solid choice for mild modifications like a larger throttle body or mass air conversion, especially when paired with 3.27 to 3.73 rear gears.

This camshaft is part of their Xtreme Energy line, specifically tuned for computer-controlled engines. The lobe separation angle is 112 degrees, which helps provide a noticeable idle and strong mid-range torque. It’s designed to work well with a range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, F-150, and Bronco from the mid-80s to mid-90s, as well as several Lincoln and Mercury applications. This is a significant upgrade over stock, offering improved throttle response and power without being overly aggressive for daily driving.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it's designed for engines with factory roller camshafts. You'll want to ensure you have the necessary supporting modifications, such as a mass air flow sensor and a larger throttle body, to take full advantage of its performance characteristics. While this camshaft offers great performance gains, please note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
