SBF 4.6/5.4L X/E Hyd. Cam Kit XE262H-14

The COMP Cams SBF 4.6/5.4L X/E Hydraulic Cam Kit XE262H-14 is a hydraulic roller camshaft pair engineered for small-block Ford modular engines seeking aggressive street and strip performance. This Xtreme Energy hydraulic roller cam delivers 0.500-inch lift on both intake and exhaust, with intake duration of 262 degrees and exhaust duration of 270 degrees at 0.050-inch valve lift, optimized for a 114-degree lobe separation angle. Designed for the RPM band between 1200 and 5200, this cam kit balances low-end responsiveness with mid-range punch characteristic of modern Ford modular platforms.

Hydraulic roller technology eliminates the need for solid lifter adjustment and provides quieter, more consistent valve actuation than flat-tappet designs. The asymmetrical profile—with slightly longer exhaust duration than intake—maximizes scavenging efficiency and helps evacuate spent gases more completely. The 114 LSA (lobe separation angle) positions the intake and exhaust events to favor mid-range torque production, making this kit well-suited for vehicles driven primarily on road courses and autocross events rather than peak RPM drag racing. The pair format ensures matching profiles for repeatable performance across both cylinder banks.

This cam kit is ideal for enthusiasts upgrading naturally aspirated small-block Ford modular engines—including 4.6L and 5.4L platforms found in late-model Mustangs, F-150s, and specialty vehicles—who prioritize drivability without sacrificing performance. The XE262H-14 works within OEM valvetrain geometry and does not require extensive head or intake modifications, making it a cost-effective bolt-on upgrade for builders seeking measurable horsepower gains and improved throttle response. Pair it with matching valve springs, push rods, and rocker arms rated for the specified lift and duration to ensure longevity and proper valve control.
