The Leading Edge of Valve Train Technology

Comp Cams Xtreme Energy series can be used in any street or street/strip application where both throttle response and top-end horsepower is desired. These camshafts are designed to take advantage of the latest improvements in valve train components and the newest developments in camshaft design.

Performance Benefits & Key Features

Comp Cams Xtreme Energy roller cams are designed for compatibility with the latest advances in valvetrain design; however, due to their aggressive design, it’s not advisable to pair your camshaft with stock valvetrain components. With their precision grind, Comp cams Xtreme Energy cams enhance acceleration, torque and overall engine performance by boosting airflow and cylinder efficiency.

They’re a great way to optimize an engine build that also includes an aftermarket intake, carburetor, headers and ignition along with lower rear end ratios. Comp Cam packages are denoted with a “CL” for camshaft, lifters, assembly lube and instructions. Complete Kits will have a “K” that signifies cam, lifters, timing chain and gears, valve springs, retainers, locks, assembly lube, decals and instructions. The Small Kit will have an “SK” by the part number and will include cam, lifters, timing chain set, assembly lube, decals and instructions. Depending on your preferences and performance goals, Comp Cam lobe profiles range up to .580” lift and 294 degrees of duration, and some cams are rated up to 6500 rpm. 

Cams and kits that are designed for the strip and a high-RPM stall speed converter are also likely to have a rough and lopey idle, and will perform best when matched with the right intake and headers. As always, be sure of your vehicle’s year, make, model, trim level and engine size when ordering, and it’s advisable to do some research to find which intake, headers, carburetor and other details will be the best match with the camshaft you have in mind.
