The COMP Cams 31-492-9 Xtreme Energy camshaft is engineered for Small Block Ford applications seeking strong street and performance-oriented power. This hydraulic roller camshaft features lift figures of 0.514 inch on the intake and 0.509 inch on the exhaust, helping improve valve movement and airflow throughout the operating range. Its 110-degree lobe separation angle supports a responsive powerband with a performance-focused idle and strong throttle response.
The camshaft uses an intake duration of 264 degrees and exhaust duration of 272 degrees at the advertised specification, with duration figures of 212/218 degrees at 0.050 inch lift. Designed for an operating range of approximately 1,500 to 5,500 RPM, the 31-492-9 is well suited for performance street engines, weekend vehicles, and moderate street-strip combinations. The hydraulic roller design delivers reliable valvetrain operation while reducing the maintenance demands associated with mechanical camshaft setups.
COMP Cams develops the Xtreme Energy series to provide carefully matched valve timing for improved acceleration and usable engine performance. This camshaft is intended for Small Block Ford builds where a balanced combination of street manners, midrange torque, and upper-RPM power is desired. Verify engine compatibility, cylinder head configuration, valve clearance, compression ratio, rocker geometry, and supporting valvetrain components before installation. The COMP Cams 31-492-9 camshaft is sold individually and is a practical upgrade for builders looking to enhance the performance character of a compatible Ford small block engine.
