COMP Cams Camshaft Kit GM Ecotec XE258

This COMP Cams XE258 camshaft features a 216/218 degree intake/exhaust duration. It’s built on a steel core, offering a robust foundation for improved engine performance in GM Ecotec 2.2L engines. This camshaft is designed for street and strip applications, meaning it’s intended for vehicles that see regular driving but are also used for performance events. Because it changes the engine's breathing characteristics, you'll need to adjust the engine's computer or use a programmer to get the most out of it and ensure proper operation.

The XE258 is an updated version of the 113300 camshaft, utilizing the popular Xtreme Energy lobe profiles. These profiles are known for providing a noticeable increase in power and torque, especially in the mid-range and upper RPMs, without sacrificing too much drivability for a performance camshaft. The hydraulic roller design means it operates with less friction than older flat tappet designs, contributing to better efficiency and longevity. This kit is a significant upgrade for enthusiasts looking to extract more power from their Ecotec engine.

This camshaft kit is compatible with a wide range of GM Ecotec 2.2L vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, and Saturn Ion. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal results and to ensure the engine runs correctly after installation, you will need to modify the vehicle's computer or use an aftermarket engine management system.
