Product Details

This is the COMP Cams Xtreme Energy XE252 camshaft kit, designed for GM Ecotec 2.2L engines. It's a hydraulic roller camshaft that's built for street applications, aiming to give you a broad power band with strong torque. If you're looking to get more out of your Ecotec engine, especially when paired with computer modifications or a programmer, this kit is a solid option. It fits a wide variety of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, and Pontiac G5.

The XE252 features a 210/212 degree duration, which is a well-known profile for delivering improved low-end and mid-range power without sacrificing too much drivability. This means you'll feel a noticeable difference in acceleration and pulling power around town and on the highway. COMP Cams is a well-known name in performance valvetrain components, and this kit is put together to offer a significant improvement over stock camshafts. It's a more involved upgrade, so you'll want to ensure you have the proper tools and knowledge for installation, or plan to have a trusted mechanic handle it.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to ensure its longevity. This kit is intended for vehicles that have had or will have computer modifications, like a custom tune or a performance programmer, to take full advantage of the camshaft's capabilities. While it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California, it's a popular choice for Ecotec owners looking for a noticeable bump in performance.
