Pick one of three, final cam decision!! Vote Now
Ok so here we go, I have narrowed it down to three cams. 1. The comp 35-425-8 xtreame energy retrofit cam. 2. Comp xtreame energy XE274HR 3. Comp xtreame energy XE282HR
1. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-35-425-8/
2. http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp-Cams/249/35-518-8/10002/-1#
3. http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp-Cams/249/35-522-8/10002/-1#
The third one may be a little to much cam for my motor but thats why I am asking you guys. This will be my final desicion, Im not going with any custom grind at this time, that will be my next motor. Will all three of these work, remember Im using the stock 88 shortblock, so I dont want any PTV contact. Any experiance with these cams. The first one is what the guy from comp told me to use.

Ok so count the last one out, I was reading a few old posts and it sounds like the 282HR is to much of a cam for my set up. So mjr, you seem to have a vast amount of knowlege and you have been very helpful so far. Out of the first one and the second, what do you think will be best for my setup? oh and compared to that thumper cam you have

personally I'd rule the last two out, expecially if you are using gt-40p heads...don't know how true this is but from what I have read about gt-40p heads peak flow is up around .500 lift, , your head choice will be the crutch here
