Comp Cam 31-230-3 Xtreme Energy 206/212 Camshaft with High Performance Lifters – Smooth Idle – Strong Torque – .460/.474 Lift, 250/2605 Duration – FITS Ford 260 289 302 SBF Engines

Description

This package includes the Competition Cams 31-230-3 Xtreme Energy hydraulic flat tappet camshaft and Enginetech high-performance hydraulic lifters, engineered specifically for Ford 221, 260, 289 and 302 small block engines. This camshaft is designed to dramatically improve throttle response, mid-range torque and everyday street drivability while preserving strong vacuum and a clean, responsive idle.

The 31-230-3 Cam features 250°/260° advertised duration, 206°/212° duration at .050″, .460″/.474″ lift and a 110° lobe separation angle. These specifications position this cam as an excellent street-performance upgrade—large enough to add noticeable power and character, but conservative enough to retain smooth drivability and dependable low-RPM behavior.

The moderate .460/.474 lift opens the valves deeper into the intake and exhaust port airflow stream, increasing the volume of air the engine can draw in. The 206/212 duration at .050″ keeps the valves open long enough to improve mid-range power without sacrificing low-RPM torque. This combination gives the engine more usable power right where street cars spend most of their time. The 110° LSA adds a crisp performance tone at idle while maintaining excellent vacuum for power brakes, EFI or carb tuning.

On the street, this camshaft delivers stronger mids, quicker throttle response and smoother acceleration throughout the 600-4,800 RPM operating range. It wakes up a stock or lightly modified 289–302 without requiring extreme supporting modifications. Drivers will notice the engine feeling more lively, more responsive and more eager to pull through the mid-range. This is one of the most popular “seat-of-the-pants improvement” cams for small block Ford engines because it dramatically improves performance while remaining daily-driver friendly.

The included Enginetech hydraulic lifters are matched to the camshaft’s ramp rates, duration and lift, ensuring smooth valvetrain operation, proper lubrication and long-term reliability. The combination eliminates compatibility guesswork and provides a proven, well-matched upgrade package for classic Mustang, Falcon, Fairlane, Bronco and F-Series 221–302 engines.

If you are looking for a camshaft that makes real torque gains, adds sharper response, enhances mid-range pull and gives your classic Ford V8 a more assertive performance sound—while still maintaining excellent drivability—the Competition Cams 31-230-3 with Enginetech hydraulic lifters is one of the best choices in the Xtreme Energy lineup.

This kit is ideal for builders looking to transform a classic Ford small block into a more powerful, more responsive and more aggressive performance engine. If you want a camshaft that delivers serious airflow gains, harder acceleration, higher RPM power and a fierce performance idle, the Competition Cams 31-331-4 Magnum cam and Enginetech lifter kit is an outstanding upgrade.
