    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. Their aggressive lobe design produces better throttle response and top end horsepower than other cams with the same duration @ .050'' lift, while delivering increased engine vacuum. We do not recommend the use of stock valve train components with these camshafts due to the aggressive lobe designs.

    Show More Features:
    • Quicker opening lobe profiles deliver increased responsiveness & more area under the lift curve

    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. Unlike some performance-oriented cams that can start to lose vacuum at idle or low RPM, Xtreme Energy cams are designed for improved vacuum performance for power brakes and other accessories, enabling a longer duration phase.

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.

    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.
