Comp xe276hr cam
Duration At 0.05 224 230
Lobe Lift 0.32 0.32
Lobe Separation 112

Anyone run it on a 302 stock bottom end?

Right now the motor is bone stock, but planning on AFR185's and a good intake...what do you think?

What do I need if I get the itch to install this cam right now?

i read you can't put afr 185s on a stock bottom end because the valves won't clear the pistons ...

Haha I just posted this in your other thread... guess you didn't that little nugget of wisdom!

XE cams are pretty tough on the ol' valvetrain, just something to keep in mind when planning on running one.

:SNSign:

i'm thinking of a Comp XE274 ... is there a XE276 also?

i've been asking around ... the concensus is that it probably works with AFR 165s and a stock bottom end, but of course whoever installs it should check the piston to valve clearances, but that should be a part of any heads or cam install, not just this one.

the ramp rates make them tough on the valve train. you can get valve float if the springs are not up to the task of keeping the lifter on the cam lobe

i bet with a good tune, it would run like a raped ape.
