comp 304, worth it?

ive been debating on a cam for a long time now, i really dont wanna go overboard with a big cam, so i was thinking about getting the comp 304, does anyone here run that cam and if they are what kinda of dyno numbers and 1/4 times are they putting down with basic boltons?

Why not push for a 305, which is comparable to a Hotcam?

I honestly wouldnt waste my time putting a camshaft in unless it was at least the size of a Hotcam, CC305, or GM846.

I would go with at least a CC305 or something in that area, may it be a Hotcam or a custom grind.

I would go with the XFI from comp. Great new profiles with little duration.

Re: comp 304, worth it?

Another vote for CC503. Why do you want a 304 specifically?

People who spin bearings are the ones that are usually doing poor/sloppy installs and revving to the moon with their new cam.

Corect and the Moon being in the 6500+ range.

What do you spin your CC306 to with those LE2's? Times/Dyno's?
