Theoretical cam question

I was thinking along the right tracks. Got playing around on Comps website last night and did the desktop dyno thingie. The 268 and 274 cams were very close in power, as was the old 280/.480 grind. Just the power bands were mostly different. IIRC the 280 and the 268 grinds were almost the same, producing power that is. the small thumper made the least amount of power of the cams mentioned above.
I will put that money I was going to use for the cam, into something else.
