Product Details

The COMP Cams Xtreme Energy 31-230-3 hydraulic flat tappet camshaft is engineered specifically for Ford 221-302 cubic inch small block engines. This performance camshaft delivers a noticeable increase in mid-range and top-end power while maintaining good street manners and vacuum levels suitable for power brakes.

Camshaft Specifications:

  • Advertised Duration: 260°/266° intake/exhaust
  • Duration @ .050": 206°/212° intake/exhaust
  • Valve Lift: .447"/.455" intake/exhaust (with 1.6 rocker ratio)
  • Lobe Separation Angle: 112°
  • Recommended RPM Range: 1,500-5,500
  • Hydraulic flat tappet design for reliable street performance

Performance Characteristics:

  • Excellent choice for street performance and mild street/strip applications
  • Produces strong mid-range torque with improved top-end power
  • Compatible with stock or aftermarket cylinder heads
  • Works well with automatic or manual transmissions
  • Maintains sufficient vacuum for power accessories

This camshaft is part of COMP Cams' Xtreme Energy series, which utilizes advanced lobe profiles to maximize performance across a broad RPM range. The aggressive profile design provides more area under the lift curve for increased power output compared to traditional camshaft grinds. Recommended for engines with compression ratios of 9.0:1 or higher and performance intake/exhaust systems.

Note: Requires compatible hydraulic flat tappet lifters, performance valve springs, and proper break-in procedure. Camshaft degree kit recommended for optimal timing setup.

Best price I could find on the web even after paying for shipping! Shipped in a couple of days and great service!

Ordered a CAI kit and Autoplicity had the lowest price. They're website didn't correctly match my vehicle to the product and it took a few days to ship. They're support was friendly and quick when I emailed them about the delay.

Great customer service, item shipped quickly. Very satisfied.

Great prices, reasonable shipping costs. Shipped within 3 days of order. Didn't receive discount for valid coupon code (25OffShipping). No response to 2 emails. No indication of expected delivery date. Lots of unknowns but you can't beat the pricing.

This is the easiest purchase I ever made. The visor is great and installation was a breeze. The service by Autoplicity was A-1. Shipping was better than standard. Will buy from them again.
