COMP Cams Camshaft OL XE274H-10

COMP Cams is well-known for performance engine components, and their Xtreme Energy line is a popular choice for drivers looking to get more out of their engines. This XE274H-10 camshaft is built for Oldsmobile V8 engines, specifically the 260 through 455 cubic inch displacements, covering a wide range of models from 1967 to the early 90s, including vehicles like the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Buick Electra.

This camshaft is designed for high-performance street applications, focusing on delivering strong mid-range power. You can expect a noticeable improvement in acceleration and pulling power once the engine is in its power band. To make the most of this camshaft's capabilities, it's recommended to pair it with aftermarket headers and a torque converter with a stall speed of 2200 RPM or higher. This setup helps ensure the engine can effectively utilize the camshaft's aggressive profile.

When installing this camshaft, remember that it's a hydraulic flat tappet design. Ensure you use a quality break-in oil and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure to properly seat the tappets and prevent premature wear. This camshaft is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to enhance the performance of their classic Oldsmobile or compatible Buick and Cadillac V8s.
