Product Details

This COMP Cams XE274HR-12 camshaft features a 224-degree intake and 232-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, a design choice that helps it work well with computer-controlled Ford engines, particularly those with factory roller camshafts. It's built for applications where you're looking to get more out of your 5.0L or 351W Windsor engine, especially when paired with other upgrades.

When you're aiming for a noticeable bump in performance, this camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to work best with a torque converter that has a stall speed of 2500 RPM or higher, and it really shines when you've got rear gears in the 3.55 to 3.73 range. For the best results, consider pairing it with improved cylinder heads, an upgraded intake manifold, and a more capable fuel system. This camshaft is a key component for building a more potent engine, and it fits a range of Ford vehicles like the Mustang, F-150, and Bronco from the mid-80s through the mid-90s.

Keep in mind that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a significant upgrade for your engine's breathing capabilities, and when installed correctly with supporting modifications, you can expect a more aggressive power band and improved throttle response.
