2009–2025 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Durango, Ram 1500/2500/3500, Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee
201-332-17
Overview:
The COMP Cams HRT Turbo Stage 2 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft is engineered specifically for turbocharged and supercharged Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep engines from 2009 through 2025. Designed to maximize power and torque gains, this camshaft is ideal for enthusiasts seeking significant performance improvements on forced induction setups. Featuring advanced lobe profiles and Low Shock Technology, it delivers enhanced horsepower while maintaining valve train stability at high RPMs.
This camshaft is perfect for street-driven vehicles with larger turbochargers and optimized low backpressure exhaust systems, offering a balance between aggressive performance and reliable operation. It requires supporting modifications such as a DOD delete kit and upgraded valve springs to ensure optimal function and durability.
Key Features:
The HRT Turbo Stage 2 camshaft incorporates cutting-edge technology and design elements to enhance engine output and longevity:
- Advanced lobe designs tailored for turbo and supercharged engines, maximizing average power and torque
- Low Shock Technology reduces valve spring load and improves high RPM stability
- Micro Surface Enhancement (MSE) finishing process increases strength by reducing surface roughness and improving load-bearing capacity by 250%
- Dyno tested to exceed 7500 RPM for reliable high-performance operation
- Optimized for larger turbochargers with low backpressure hot side exhaust
- Requires COMP Cams DOD Delete Kit and upgraded valve springs for proper installation
- Compatible with 5.7L to 6.4L HEMI engines equipped with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), requiring phaser limiter or lock kit
- Available blower camshaft options for Dodge 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI engines
Construction & Design:
Manufactured with precision CNC grinding and finished using COMP Cams’ proprietary Micro Surface Enhancement (MSE) process, this camshaft offers superior durability and performance. The MSE finish significantly reduces surface peak roughness, enhancing the effective load-bearing area and allowing the cam lobes to withstand higher stress without premature wear. The hydraulic roller design reduces friction and heat, contributing to longer valve train life and consistent performance under demanding conditions.
The lobe profiles are engineered to minimize shock loads on valve springs, which not only improves reliability but also reduces the likelihood of valve float at elevated RPMs. This careful balance of aggressive timing and mechanical sympathy makes the HRT Turbo Stage 2 camshaft a robust upgrade for forced induction applications.
Performance & Sound
With its aggressive yet stable lobe profiles, the HRT Turbo Stage 2 camshaft delivers noticeable gains in horsepower and torque across the RPM range, especially in turbocharged setups optimized for low exhaust backpressure. The camshaft’s design supports high RPM operation up to and beyond 7500 RPM, enabling spirited driving and track use. While primarily focused on power gains, the camshaft also contributes to a more aggressive engine note characteristic of performance-oriented forced induction engines.
Installation & Fitment:
This camshaft fits a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep models equipped with 5.7L to 6.4L V8 HEMI engines from 2009 through 2025. Installation requires removal of the stock camshaft and supporting components. Because the camshaft is designed for forced induction applications, it mandates the use of a COMP Cams DOD Delete Kit and upgraded valve springs (such as the 7230 series) to handle increased loads and prevent valve float.
For engines with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), a phaser limiter or lock kit is also necessary to prevent timing phaser over-advance and ensure proper cam timing. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and to maintain engine reliability.
What's Included:
- COMP Cams HRT Turbo Stage 2 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft (Part #201-332-17)
- Installation instructions (where applicable)
