• Wide Torque Curve: Delivers impressive low-end torque gains while maintaining outstanding high-end power.
• No Springs Required for Stage 1: Simplifies installation and reduces cost without sacrificing performance.
• Compatibility with Valve Springs: Stages 2 and 3 work with COMP Cams Beehive and Conical Valve Springs, plus new HEMI Valve Spring Kits for maximum RPM and power.
• Designed for #26918 Valve Springs: Ensures optimal valve train dynamics and durability.
• Stage Options: Available in multiple stages from mild to aggressive to match your performance goals.
• CK-Kit and MK-Kit Availability: Offered under part numbers CK201-304-17 and MK201-304-17 for Dodge 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI engines with VVT.

Construction & Design:

Manufactured with precision engineering, the COMP Cams HRT Camshaft features hardened lobes treated with Micro Surface Enhancement to reduce friction and wear. The camshaft’s lobe profiles are meticulously crafted to balance aggressive power delivery with valve train stability, minimizing shock loads that can lead to premature spring or component failure. This results in a camshaft that not only improves engine output but also extends the life of your valvetrain components.

The camshaft is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Gen III Hemi engine components, ensuring reliable operation and ease of installation. Its robust construction supports high-performance applications while maintaining OEM-level durability.

Performance & Sound

This camshaft significantly broadens the torque curve, providing strong low-end response for street driving and impressive high-end power for spirited performance. The Low Shock Technology reduces valve spring load loss, allowing the engine to rev more freely and maintain consistent valve timing at elevated RPMs. Drivers will notice a more aggressive engine note that complements the enhanced power delivery without excessive harshness.

Installation & Fitment:

The COMP Cams HRT Camshaft is a direct fit for a wide range of Gen III Hemi-powered vehicles, including the Dodge Challenger (2011–2025), Chrysler 300 (2012–2025), Dodge Charger (2012–2020), Dodge Durango (2018–2020), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2012–2020), Ram 2500 (2014–2020), and Ram 3500 (2014–2025). Stage 1 camshafts require no valve spring upgrades, simplifying installation and reducing costs. For Stages 2 and 3, upgrading to COMP Cams Beehive or Conical Valve Springs, or the new HEMI Valve Spring Kits, is recommended to handle increased valve train demands.

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with camshaft replacement and engine timing procedures to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
