The COMP Cams CL31-492-9 Xtreme Energy camshaft and lifter kit is designed for Small Block Ford applications requiring responsive street and performance characteristics. This complete kit combines a hydraulic roller camshaft with compatible roller lifters, providing a practical upgrade for engines that need improved valve-train performance without the maintenance associated with mechanical lifters.
The camshaft features approximately 0.514-inch intake lift and 0.509-inch exhaust lift, with advertised duration of 264 degrees on the intake and 272 degrees on the exhaust. Its 110-degree lobe separation angle supports a strong, responsive powerband and helps deliver a performance-oriented exhaust note. The Xtreme Energy profile is engineered to provide useful low- and mid-range power for street-driven vehicles, performance builds, and applications that benefit from increased throttle response.
This COMP Cams kit is intended for engines operating in an approximate 1,500 to 5,500 RPM range, making it well suited to versatile street performance and moderate competition use. The hydraulic roller design reduces friction compared with traditional flat-tappet configurations while supporting consistent valve action and durability when properly installed with compatible valve-train components. Always verify engine compatibility, piston-to-valve clearance, spring requirements, pushrod length, and rocker-arm geometry before installation.
The CL31-492-9 kit offers the convenience of matched camshaft and lifter components from COMP Cams, helping simplify a performance camshaft upgrade for Small Block Ford builds. Use the vehicle, engine, and application specifications to confirm fitment before ordering.
