small block 360 cam selection

i remember when the xe-268 came out...number one selling cam for 3 years in everything from 383 mopar to 350 chev. but that was all marketing like every new performance piece is. But have a look at the numbers from comp's website for a warm Dart headed ( I know) chev sm blk.
The strong bottom end little xe-256 really shines for street only applications.It's a shame we don't see figures at 800 rpm. and it actually holds its' own past 5000rpm
YR...i am in full agreement with you on the modern converters but the op asked for a cam recommendation. At 8.1 compression i can't suggest anything with much duration.Even 218 - 220 might be pushing it on the intake.
And like you said...i may be wrong.
