COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FC XE284H-10

If you're looking to build a street/strip Ford with a noticeable idle and improved performance, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is a solid option. It's designed for Ford 351 Cleveland, 351 Modified, and 400 Modified engines, and it's a popular choice for builds aiming for around 2800+ RPM stall speeds, 9.5:1 compression, and the use of headers and performance gearing.

This is a complete kit, meaning you get everything you need to get the camshaft installed and running right. Inside the box, you'll find the XE284H-10 camshaft itself, along with hydraulic lifters, valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure your valvetrain stays synchronized. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is included, and you'll also get decals and instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is built to provide a significant bump in performance for your Ford V8.

To get the most out of this camshaft, COMP Cams suggests pairing it with a torque converter around the 2800+ stall range, a compression ratio of about 9.5:1, and a good set of headers and rear-end gears. Expect a rougher idle than stock, which is characteristic of performance cams designed for this kind of street and strip application. This kit fits a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-80s, including models like the Ford Bronco, F-150, and Mercury Cougar.
