2009–2025 Chrysler 300 / Dodge Challenger / Charger / Durango / Ram 1500 / Ram 2500 / Ram 3500 / Jeep Commander / Grand Cherokee
201-335-17
Overview:
The COMP Cams HRT Blower Stage 1 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft is engineered specifically for boosted applications on Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep vehicles equipped with 5.7L to 6.4L V8 engines featuring Variable Valve Timing (VVT). Designed to optimize power and torque gains for turbocharged and supercharged setups, this camshaft delivers enhanced performance while maintaining drivability and engine reliability. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a significant upgrade over stock camshafts, it balances aggressive power output with smooth operation and improved valve train stability.
This camshaft is perfect for vehicles running 2.5L or smaller superchargers, such as the 5.7L Eagle or 6.4L Apache engines, providing excellent off-idle throttle response while requiring supporting modifications like a Displacement on Demand (DOD) Delete Kit and upgraded valve springs.
Key Features:
The HRT Blower Stage 1 camshaft incorporates advanced technology and design elements to maximize performance and durability:
- Low Shock Technology: Specially designed lobe profiles reduce valve spring load and improve stability at higher RPMs, enhancing horsepower without sacrificing reliability.
- Micro Surface Enhancement (MSE): Precision finishing process that reduces surface roughness, increasing strength and load-bearing capacity by 250% for superior durability under high stress.
- Optimized for Boosted Engines: Tailored specifically for turbo and supercharged applications to deliver substantial torque and power gains.
- Stage-Based Design: Part of a staged lineup allowing selection from mild street to race-oriented builds depending on performance goals.
- Compatibility with VVT Engines: Requires phaser limiter or lock kit on 2009+ 5.7L-6.4L VVT engines to maintain proper timing control.
- Valve Spring Upgrade Required: Works in conjunction with COMP Cams DOD Delete Kit and upgraded valve springs (part #26918) for optimal valve train performance.
- Wide Vehicle Fitment: Compatible with multiple Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep models from 2009 through 2025.
Construction & Design:
Manufactured with precision CNC grinding and finished using COMP Cams’ proprietary Micro Surface Enhancement (MSE) process, this camshaft features hardened lobes that resist wear and fatigue under high load conditions. The hydraulic roller design reduces friction and heat generation, promoting longer component life and smoother engine operation. The lobe profiles are engineered to minimize shock loads on valve springs, which not only improves durability but also allows for more aggressive cam timing without compromising valve train stability.
Performance & Sound
The HRT Blower Stage 1 camshaft significantly enhances mid to high RPM power and torque, especially in forced induction setups. Drivers will notice improved throttle response and a more aggressive engine note without excessive harshness, making it suitable for street-driven vehicles that demand both performance and refinement. The camshaft’s design helps maintain smooth idle quality while unlocking the engine’s full potential under boost.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation requires removal of the stock camshaft and supporting components. This camshaft is designed for 5.7L to 6.4L V8 engines with VVT from 2009 to 2025 across Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango, Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, Jeep Commander, and Grand Cherokee models. A COMP Cams DOD Delete Kit and upgraded valve springs (part #26918) are mandatory for proper operation. Additionally, a phaser limiter or lock kit is required on VVT engines to prevent timing issues. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct timing and valve train setup.
What's Included:
- COMP Cams HRT Blower Stage 1 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft (Part #201-335-17)
