Comp 31-242-3 Xtreme Energy 224/230 Camshaft with HP Lifters, Double Roller Timing, Stage 2 Springs/Retainers and 6.876" Push Rods – .509/.512 Lift 268/280 Duration – FITS 1969–1991 Ford 302 Engines

This complete performance valvetrain package includes the Competition Cams 31-242-3 Xtreme Energy hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, Enginetech high-performance lifters, a true double roller timing set, Stage 2 valve springs with matched retainers and a set of 6.876-inch push rods. Designed for 1969–1991 non-roller Ford 302 hydraulic flat tappet engines, this kit delivers major gains in throttle response, mid-range torque, airflow efficiency and top-end horsepower. The 31-242-3 camshaft features .509"/.512" lift, 268°/280° advertised duration, 224°/230° duration @ .050 and a 110° lobe separation angle. The high lift opens the valves deep into the head’s most efficient airflow zone, dramatically improving intake and exhaust flow. The extended duration keeps valves open longer during peak velocity, increasing cylinder filling, combustion efficiency and overall engine output. This delivers a harder-pulling mid-range, improved top-end power and a more aggressive, responsive driving feel. The 110° LSA provides controlled overlap that enhances scavenging and intake velocity, giving the engine quicker response and a strong performance idle with a noticeable lope. The Stage 2 springs and retainers stabilize the valvetrain at higher lift, preventing valve float and maintaining precise valve control. The true double roller timing set minimizes chain stretch and ensures accurate valve timing. The 6.876" push rods ensure proper geometry and stiffness for non-roller 302 engines, especially with upgraded springs and elevated lift. Enginetech hydraulic lifters add reliable lubrication control and smooth travel. Ideal for classic Mustangs, Broncos, Falcons, Fairlanes, F-series trucks and street rods, this kit transforms a small-block Ford into a sharper-revving, harder-pulling and more aggressive-sounding performance engine. If you want real increases in power, responsiveness and engine character, the 31-242-3 cam kit with push rods, timing set and Stage 2 springs is the perfect upgrade.

• THIS IS A COMPETITION CAM & ENGINETECH CAM KIT BUNDLE ASSEMBLED BY OUR EXPERT ENGINEERS TO CREATE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CAMSHAFT KIT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. EVERY PART IN THIS KIT HAS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPEC RATING AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE OF THE HIGHEST OF QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE.
• 31-242-3 XTREME ENERGY SPECS – Hydraulic flat tappet cam with 268°/280° advertised duration, 224°/230° @ .050 and .509"/.512" lift on a 110° LSA. Aggressive valve timing increases airflow, torque and upper-RPM horsepower for classic Ford small blocks.
• ENGINETECH PERFORMANCE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS INCLUDED – High-quality hydraulic lifters engineered for flat tappet cam profiles. Provides smooth operation, reliable oil control, and long-term valvetrain durability.
• TRUE DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING SET – Heavy-duty dual-roller timing chain improves cam timing accuracy, reduces stretch, and increases durability, ensuring consistent valve events and long-term reliability under performance conditions.
• STAGE 2 PERFORMANCE VALVE SPRINGS AND RETAINERS – Upgraded performance springs and retainers designed to handle the lift profile. Improves high-RPM stability, reduces valve float, and enhances durability for flat tappet SBF builds.
• INCLUDES 6.876" PERFORMANCE PUSH RODS – Precision-length 6.876-inch push rods provide improved strength and proper valvetrain geometry. Ideal for hydraulic flat tappet SBF engines running higher lift and more aggressive cam profiles.
• STRONG MID-RANGE & EXTENDED HIGH-RPM POWER – With over .500" lift and longer duration, this cam opens valves deep into the high-velocity flow path and keeps them open longer, improving cylinder filling and producing a stronger pull from 1,600–5,800 RPM.
• SHARPER THROTTLE RESPONSE & IMPROVED SCAVENGING – The 110° lobe separation delivers controlled overlap for better exhaust evacuation and intake charge velocity, making the engine feel more responsive and energetic on the street.
• AGGRESSIVE BUT STREET-FRIENDLY IDLE – Produces a deep, choppy lope with a rich performance tone. Despite the aggressive profile, the engine still maintains solid vacuum for power brakes and reliable tuning.
• COMPLETE MATCHED PERFORMANCE PACKAGE – This kit includes the camshaft, lifters, timing set, valve springs, retainers, and 6.876-inch push rods all engineered to work together. No guessing about compatibility. Everything is matched for proper lift, timing stability, valvetrain geometry, and long-term durability.
