Comp cams xe268h for 318
The spread is typically close to 2 points
You have to be really careful tho when inputting cams from different manufacturers, as NONE of the advertised duration start on the base circle. Some are at .008, some at .006, some at .004...... and there can be a lotta degrees between the highest and the lowest.
I believe Hughes are at .008, and Comps at .006
Hughes cams are an enigma. They had a 270/276/110 that I bought/installed in 2000. At that time they advertised that their cams made more power than anybody else's. I bought it. The thing is this cam is advertised at .008 tappet lift, and everybody else sells 268s at .006 lift. So how big advertised is the Hughes really, at .006? IDK I never measured it, but after studying WyrmRiders comments, Ima thinking it was an easy 5 or 6 degrees bigger, so say it was 276/282/110...... and so, of course it makes more power than a 268/276/110 .... cuz it's actually a full size bigger.
Or is it?
this Hughes cam came with an .050 spec of 223/230/110, and a
Comp 268/276/110 specs at; 224/230/110.... so what's up?
Well the lift on the Comp is .477/.480, to the Hughes at .504/.515 Gosh that's nice.
So is Hughes wrong? Probably not, I know that HE2430 was a sweetheart of a cam with 1.6 arms on it.
Alls I'm saying is be careful what you input; garbage in is garbage out.
I have played with that first edition DD program for many many exciting hours.
