COMP Cams Camshaft Kit FW XE282HR-12

If you're looking to get more out of your Ford 5.0L engine, this COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft kit is a solid option. It's designed for street/strip applications and will wake up your engine, but it does require some supporting modifications. This kit is built around the XE282HR-12 camshaft, which features a hydraulic roller design for improved performance and durability. You'll need to upgrade your EEC IV computer, along with your heads, intake, and rear-end gears to really take advantage of what this cam has to offer. A torque converter with at least a 2800 RPM stall speed is also recommended to keep your engine in its power band.

This is a comprehensive kit that includes everything you need to get started. You'll find the XE282HR-12 camshaft itself, a set of high-quality lifters, a new timing chain set for precise valve timing, assembly lube to ensure proper break-in, and even some decals and instructions to help you through the process. COMP Cams is well-known for its performance camshafts, and this kit reflects that reputation with well-built components designed to work together. It's important to note that this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

This kit fits a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, F-150, and Bronco, as well as the Mercury Cougar and Grand Marquis. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle. Remember that installing a camshaft is a significant engine modification, so be prepared for the necessary supporting upgrades to achieve the best results.
