To achieve this extra level of performance, lobe profiles and timing events were specifically designed to work with the factory variable cam timing (VCT) system cam phasers for all 2005 and newer Ford Modular 3V engines. These cam phasers were modified with the required COMP Cams® Cam Phaser Limiter Kit (Part #5449) to restrict their movement to no more than 20 degrees. This simple modification gains additional piston to valve clearance, allowing for much larger cam designs. This results in cams that not only maintain low and mid-range power, but have incredible high rpm performance as well, all while maintaining the benefits of cam phasing. As noted by the COMP Cams® engineering staff during extensive dyno testing, these camshafts provided the biggest power and torque improvements of any cam series they’ve ever tested in the Ford Modular 3V engine.
