Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XE282HR-12 camshaft, a hydraulic roller camshaft designed for Ford 5.0L and 351W engines that came factory-equipped with roller camshafts. If you're looking to significantly improve the performance of your street or strip Ford, this camshaft is a solid choice. It's built to work with computer-controlled systems, but you'll need to upgrade your EEC IV system to get the most out of it.

The XE282HR-12 features a 232-degree intake duration and a 240-degree exhaust duration at .050 inch lift, with .550 inch lift on both intake and exhaust. This profile is aggressive enough to provide a noticeable power increase, especially when paired with other upgrades like improved cylinder heads, an aftermarket intake manifold, and appropriate gearing. COMP Cams designed this cam for a 2800+ RPM stall torque converter, making it well-suited for vehicles that see spirited driving or track use. It's a well-built component that can transform your engine's powerband when installed correctly.

For this camshaft to perform optimally, you'll need to ensure your engine is set up to handle its demands. Beyond the EEC IV upgrade, consider matching it with performance cylinder heads, an upgraded intake manifold, and suitable rear-end gears. It's also important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate details on required supporting modifications and procedures.
