The COMP Cams SBC Xtreme Energy Hydraulic Cam XE268H-14 is a high-lift, long-duration hydraulic flat tappet camshaft engineered specifically for small-block Chevy engines seeking aggressive power delivery across a broad RPM band. With 0.477-inch intake and 0.480-inch exhaust lift paired to 268 and 280 degrees of duration respectively, this cam delivers substantial valve events while maintaining the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of hydraulic actuation. The 114-degree lobe separation angle balances peak torque production with drivability, making it a proven choice for street performance and bracket racing applications.
The lift figures and duration specifications define this cam's operating window from 1800 to 5800 RPM, ensuring strong mid-range response where street engines and competition vehicles spend most of their time. Hydraulic flat tappet design eliminates the complexity and expense of solid lifter conversion while providing excellent durability and reliable valve train geometry. The 114 LSA positioning optimizes overlap characteristics for engines built with factory or ported cylinder heads, delivering consistent gains without requiring extensive ancillary modifications. COMP Cams' XE268H-14 represents a mature, field-proven profile that performs predictably across fuel types and tuning variations typical of small-block Chevy platforms.
This camshaft suits builders modernizing carbureted engines, upgrading first-generation EFI systems, or maximizing performance in non-computer-controlled applications where aggressive cam timing is desired. Enthusiasts targeting 350–400 horsepower naturally aspirated output or seeking responsive street-strip builds find this profile compatible with stock-to-mildly-ported heads and conventional intake manifolds. The combination of proven Xtreme Energy design heritage and small-block Chevy versatility makes this cam a reliable foundation for engines valued for both on-demand power and dependable longevity in hot rod, restoration, and competition contexts.
