SBC Xtreme Hyd. Cam XE262H

The SBC Xtreme Hyd. Cam XE262H from COMP CAMS is a hydraulic flat-tappet camshaft engineered for small-block Chevrolet engines seeking aggressive street and strip performance without sacrificing reliability. This camshaft is designed for builders and enthusiasts who demand increased valve lift and duration to maximize airflow while maintaining the forgiving nature of hydraulic valve actuation. Whether you're building a weekend warrior or upgrading an existing small-block platform, the XE262H delivers the lift and duration necessary for significant horsepower gains in the mid to upper RPM range.

The Xtreme Hyd. Cam XE262H features a hydraulic roller design that reduces parasitic losses while providing consistent valve control across extended RPM bands, making it ideal for high-revving small-block applications. The XE262H profile is optimized for increased valve overlap and aggressive ramp rates that promote scavenging and cylinder filling efficiency—critical factors for naturally aspirated performance builds. COMP CAMS' precision manufacturing ensures tight tolerances on lobe geometry and base circle, eliminating guesswork during valve train setup and allowing proper lash adjustment for consistent operation.

This camshaft is ideal for small-block Chevy engine builders upgrading from stock or mild hydraulic profiles who want measurable performance improvement without full roller-cam complexity. The XE262H pairs well with matching hydraulic lifters, quality pushrods, and a properly valved intake system to extract maximum power. Installation requires standard camshaft timing procedures and valve lash adjustment per COMP CAMS specifications; compatible with most small-block Chevrolet engine blocks using conventional pushrod-actuated valve trains.
