COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FW XE270HR-14

If you're looking to wake up the performance of your Ford 5.0L engine, a camshaft upgrade is one of the most effective ways to do it. This COMP Cams XE270HR-14 hydraulic roller camshaft kit is designed to improve your engine's breathing and power output, especially when paired with other performance upgrades like better cylinder heads, intake, and exhaust systems. It's a popular choice for those aiming for a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque across a broad RPM range, typically from idle up to around 6500 RPM.

This isn't just a camshaft; it's a complete kit designed for a comprehensive engine build. Inside, you'll find everything needed for a proper installation: the XE270HR-14 camshaft itself, a set of hydraulic roller lifters, matching valve springs, retainers, valve locks, and valve stem seals. It also includes a timing chain set to ensure your engine's timing is spot on with the new cam profile. For flat tappet applications, assembly lube is included, along with decals and detailed instructions to guide you through the process. This kit is best suited for vehicles with rear axle ratios in the 3.55 to 3.73 range, which helps keep the engine in its power band.

This kit is a solid option for a wide range of Ford vehicles from the late 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Mustang, F-150, and Bronco. While it's a significant upgrade, remember that it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For the best results, COMP Cams recommends pairing this camshaft with improved cylinder heads, intake, and exhaust components, along with appropriate gearing to maximize its potential.
