COMP Cams Camshaft FW XE270HR-12

COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance valvetrain parts, and this Xtreme Energy camshaft is built for enthusiasts looking to get more out of their Ford 5.0L EFI engine. Designed for use with 1.7:1 ratio rocker arms, this camshaft features a 218-degree intake duration and a 224-degree exhaust duration, making it a solid choice for engines with mild modifications like a larger throttle body, mass air sensor, improved cylinder heads, and a better intake manifold. It’s intended for use with rear gear ratios between 3.20 and 3.73, helping to put the improved powerband to good use.

This camshaft is specifically designed for Ford 5.0L and 351W engines that came factory-equipped with hydraulic roller camshafts, covering a range of vehicles from 1985 through 1995. You'll find it fits popular models like the Ford Mustang, Ford Bronco, and Mercury Cougar, among many others. When installing this camshaft, it's important to ensure your engine's heads and intake manifold are up to the task to fully realize the performance gains. Because this is a significant engine modification, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding setup and break-in procedures.
