XE282HR Cam?

[kaminski347]

I just built a 306 and Im looking to put a cam in it. I havent even started the car yet so not sure what to expect. I have a DSS built 306 with 10:1 compression, AFR 185s, Long tubes, a T-5z trans, 3.73 gears and as of right now have stock maf and injectors. I was looking at the XE282HR which seems to be pretty big, but not sure if it would be good for my set up.

Do u guys think this cam would work for me? What kind of #'s do u think i can get out of this set up?

i think thats too much cam for a 306 i'll get XE274HR my opinion....

i would suggest the same get the 274. you will lose a lot of bottom end torque with the 282. a better choice for a stoker that is already making gobs of bottom end torque.

What intake and TB? Why the stock MAF?

The 282 is a poor choice. Go smaller Comp, AFM or custom.

 

[kaminski347]

Im using a Track Heat intake, 70mm tb, and im not real sure what maf and injectors i should use. Im thinking im going to use 24Lb with a 73CL maf.

isnt the XE274HR pretty close to a TFS 2001 (stage 2) ?

 

[89white50]

yea but the ramp on the lobes on the TFS cam are not nearly as aggressive as on the 274...

is it safe to say that the 274 is a little bit more 'radical' than the tfs 2001?

 

[fiveoho]

anyone?

 

[89white50]

sorry yes, i've been looking at the two for a while b/c i wanted to go with the 274, but i will probably just end up going custom. the xe274hr is more radical, takes a better spring, and usually makes a good deal more power than the tfs stage II. this is what i have gathered from a LOT of reading...

well dont want to wing you off.. but a extremely good cam is the crane #444221 2021 cam.. its a fairly big cam.. bigger than any TFS cam and makes tons of torque and has a very favorably power band.. 5.0 mustang tested its sister, the 2020 cam which has more exhaust lift.. brought a 190 horse motor to 220 just by itself.. (thats with the valve train kit, im just going by the magazine as well so don't yell at me lol)

something else to look at

is it not too big for a 306?

 

[Bad92GT]

well its in my stock 302 and runs strong.. i figure it would work well in that.. by what crane's tech help told me, it should be just fine

hmmm
