318 Cam Maybe Not

Here's a quote from @moparmandan about a Comp he put in his Teen:

" COMP-Cams 20-220-3. 250/260 .432/.444
Took our 318 Scamp with stock bottom end around the block for its first shakedown this past weekend. 7.25 with 2.76 gears. Still did a peg leg burnout for half a block without even getting in it hard. Can't wait till we put the 8.8 in with 3.73 Trac loc and tweak the tune. This is gonna be fun. Cam seems too pull well off idle. Probably too small for a lot of people."


To me that cam is about on par or slightly hotter than the stock 340 cam. Its about the same lift and duration @0.050" lift.

So if you think of the 4 main choices of the xe line 262,268,275,285 are all big step ups from stock 340 nevermind the stock 318 and 360 ones.
