Comp cams xe268h for 318
So in comparing apples to apples, how might the durations of that 278/288/114 cam compare to other's offerings which are usually measured at .006 or occasionally at .008?
I came to the same conclusions, as to the 204 needing more lift,and the 12* spread.

If that 278 is say
[email protected], or
[email protected] Then it's just a low-lift cam with a cushiony landing. And if the closing ramp is a wee little longer than the opening ramp, it could still be decent low-lift cam with hot-dog idle.
I still wouldn't run it in a teener, or anything for that matter, even with 1.6 arms. There are just too many better offerings out there ........ IMO.
If I owned it, I might try to resell it....... but who to? I mean the first question out of a potential buyers mouth is gonna be; "why are you selling it?" And then AJ will have to come clean. That's why I said I would throw it away.
But you know; some streeter with too much compression, might be able to live with it. I mean, if it was a
[email protected], with optimized Scr, and say .449/.474 lift with 1.6 arms , it is still gonna be fearsome in two gears to 65mph, with a starter of say 10:1, and a 2800TC ................. and the soft landing cam should be easy on the parts, for many years.
There is a bit of a silver lining to that cam; with a 12* split, you got about double the options of choosing an install,
but man is it gonna suck gas!
And look how much money you had to spend, just to be able to properly use that cam...
and the 114 LSA is still crazy.
But hey,
dartfreak is gonna be a pioneer. Let's see how it goes.
