cam talk

hi, in a word, no!! the 282 is a more aggressive lobe shape. plus, it develops more cylinder pressure, which = more torque, means more horse power!!
in 1/8 mile racing, torque is what you need. a longer duration cam kills cylinder pressure! thats, why you have higher compression ratio, to make up for loss of cylinder pressures. as mr. betts indicated, don't get hung up on big numbers, lobe shape is more important. thats why stockers are so fast.
a typical stocker cam looks like a roller lobe shape, and its a flat tappet design.the 282 is a good grind. the 306 is a 4000- 7000 cam. needs 11.0 comp ratio, the282 is a 2500 - 6500 range , it needs 10.1 comp ratio.
comp lists this, 282 lobe is a that maximizes torque , throttle response, very aggressive shape , feature a special closing section to eliminate noise. plus a tight lash cam.the magnums are listed as a high perform cam. just food for thought. info is from older comp cam catalog.
