What other modifications are recommended when installing this camshaft?

For best performance, COMP Cams recommends pairing this camshaft with upgraded cylinder heads, an improved intake manifold, and a better exhaust system. Running rear-end gears in the 3.55 to 3.73 range is also advised to take full advantage of the cam's capabilities.

Does this camshaft require special break-in procedures?

As a hydraulic roller camshaft, it does not require the specific break-in procedure that flat tappet camshafts do. However, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific priming or initial start-up recommendations.

Will this camshaft work with my stock engine computer?

Yes, this is an Xtreme Energy Computer Controlled camshaft, meaning it is designed to work with your vehicle's factory engine control unit (ECU). This allows for improved performance without needing to switch to a standalone engine management system.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your Ford 5.0L or 351W engine, especially one running a factory roller camshaft, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft is a solid choice. This cam is designed to work with your vehicle's computer control system, offering an improved performance profile without needing a full standalone engine management setup. It's a popular upgrade for those aiming for a noticeable bump in power and torque, particularly when paired with other supporting modifications.

The XE270HR-14 features a 218-degree intake duration and 224-degree exhaust duration, with a 114-degree lobe separation angle. This specific grind is often best when you're also upgrading your cylinder heads, intake manifold, and exhaust system, and when you're running rear-end gears in the 3.55 to 3.73 range. These combinations help the camshaft reach its full potential, making a real difference in how your engine pulls through the RPM range. It's a well-built component that's a step up from stock, providing a more aggressive feel and sound.

This camshaft fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Mustang, F-150, and Bronco from the mid-80s through the mid-90s. While it's designed to work with your factory computer, remember that for optimal results and to ensure proper operation, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions. This cam is a significant upgrade for enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine's breathing and power output.
