Much better, mor emid range torque and more peak power.

 

good stuff...i think ill just go ahead and order it then

 

I have darn near exactly what 95ramairta has except I have an alum. FW and 6" rods for that reason I bought the XFI280 really wanted the 292 but did not want to give up the midrange I would lose due to /alum FW. I got the dreaded beehive springs, keepers and rets. Aron the CC rep. was going to go pick the springs himself to be sure I got the new ones and assured me they will stand behind their product. BTW they have 3 techs investigating the 918 failures. I hope I am not disappointed with the 280, only time will tell. Danny Mc

 

Sorry but the thoughs of "midrange TQ" with a 242/248 113LSA cam makes me laugh. Sorry but the dyno numbers don't prove that. The XFI280 is a ten times better choice in that motor.

I'de wait for someone to post some results that are actually impressive with any of the xfi cams before i bought one....

 

so what does the cam experts recommend for my set up then...

 

It depends what you want out of the cam, drivability, rpm range, ect.

 

good mid range cam, not gonna try to turn 7k...driveability needs to be decent, i want a rough idle

 

Sounds just like the cam I have in my car now, great midrange and a 6500 RPM shiftpoint.

 

>so would you consider the Crane Cams #104241?

while using your 1.6RR???

 

I believe I would choose the Hot Cam for a 350CI engine over the Crane cam you listed. Too small in both lift and duration.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

 

Sorry but again I will have to disagree, over 400ft lbs from 2900-5400 is pretty good for 350 CI IMO!

 

So where is the dyno graph and track #'s (e.t. trap and raceweight?) And is your car N/A? I kinda noticed the Vortech in your sig...

 

Sorry sig is out of date, I will revise now, that was NA'ed. 414 on torque, 422 on power. 7.81 @ 93 on motor in 1/8th only been out one time on set up, engine has been together with this set up for about 8 weeks.

I am not trying to argue with you, but this is a very common debate about any cam and most of the time the answer is simply go custom. There is some great off the shelf cams out there and I have put this in my 350, and everything on up. Has responded awesome. You asked for some numbers and I have provided them.
