Nothing wrong with wanting a bit of a lumpy cam, I don't agree people generally don't care about performance, most modern family sedans vans suv etc.. Put a lot of muscle cars to shame. Even if it ain't on the for front of your mind most don't want a complete turd.
Here's more smog 360 upgrades stock cam vs xe250h vs xe268h
That's a true test. Pulled it, made the mods, and put it back in. It looks like the smaller cam would be good for pretty much anything. The 268 would be fun for a car that may use that rpm and even more fun with a bigger converter and rear gear. The converter and gear wouldn't do anything for the horsepower but it would be more usable and it would make the car go faster. a intake carb and small cam adds 100 horse . Nice!
