By the time I get my car back on the road, it will have Edelbrock Performer 5.0 heads, and one of two cams:
Comp Cams XE262H
* Duration: 262 intake/270 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in.: 218 intake/224 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .493 in. intake/.500 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 110 degrees
* RPM range: 1,300 to 5,600
* Excellent response, good mid-range, stock converter, 3.23 to 4.10 gear
OR
Comp Cams XE268H
Specifications:
* Duration: 268 intake/280 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in.: 224 intake/230 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .510 in. intake/.512 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 110 degrees
* RPM range: 1,600 to 5,800
* Great for Street Machine, 2,200 plus stall
I have spoken to many a tech. rep about these two cams, and it seems like they are evenly torn. One guy tells me 262, the next guy tells me 268. I am getting my AOD rebuilt over the winter at a shop and they suggest around 2400 for a daily driver. Which cam better suits my daily driving needs with a street race every now and then? Thanks!
