The Ultimate Street/Strip Transformation for Your 5.0L Ford Take your Ford 302 / 5.0L to the next level with the Competition Cams 35-518-8, also known as the XE274HR. Specifically engineered for 1985–2002 factory roller blocks, this kit is designed for the enthusiast who wants a major jump in mid-to-high range power and top-end pull. By utilizing modern Xtreme Energy lobe technology, this cam snaps valves open quickly and holds them at lift longer, allowing your Windsor V8 to breathe efficiently and produce relentless, high-energy power. Nasty, Choppy Muscle Car Sound The 35-518-8 is famous for its notably aggressive, choppy muscle car idle. You should buy this kit because it provides that signature high-performance "thump" that turns heads at every stoplight, while remaining perfectly compatible with mass-air or aftermarket EFI systems. Ground with a 112° Lobe Separation Angle (LSA), it creates a rougher, purposeful idle that sounds like a purpose-built race machine, yet still maintains enough manifold vacuum for power brakes. Explosive Top-End Power and High-RPM Pull The feel of this camshaft is defined by an adrenaline shot of power that hits hard in the mid-range and keeps pulling all the way to the redline. Operating in a high-performance power band of 2,200 to 6,200 RPM, this cam turns your motor into a high-revving powerhouse. Without the added synchronization of an aftermarket timing set, the focus remains on the high-velocity interaction between the cam and the Redline Premium Lifters, resulting in a crisp, high-performance feel through the gas pedal. It is the ideal choice for a "weekend warrior" street/strip car with 3.55 or 3.73 gears and a 2500+ stall converter. Bulletproof Reliability with Redline Lifters To support the aggressive high-velocity ramps and the impressive .555" and .565" lift of this Xtreme Energy profile, we’ve included Redline Premium Upgraded Roller Lifters. These lifters feature high-capacity needle bearings and precision-machined internal valving to ensure your valvetrain remains stable during high-RPM runs. Rebuilding your engine is a lot cheaper than buying a new truck, and this package provides the professional-grade hardware needed to protect your investment for years of high-performance use.
