There are way better cams now then the old cc292.

Not sure on "way better" part......I laugh everytime a new grind is the shiznit, and the old stuff is junk. My junk runs decent (11.30s)with pretty old lobes (Comp TL lobes).....Thinkin about having Dwayne grind me a cam with the super duper new stuff for a comparison.





A buddy of mine built a very similar deal last year, had an old comp 280 (230@50) and went to the comp 284xe and gained around a half second. This was in a fully stock body '68 Bee, ended up going 11.6X .

Well lets see... the XE284 grind has 10 more degrees on the intake side than the 280, 16 more on the exhaust..., not to mention the extra .25 ish more of lift. The XE grind has 13 more degrees at .200 than the 280. So yeah, it should be quicker. I dont think that is a good comparison.

The XE274 would be a better comparison. 3 degrees more at .200 than the 280. Same intake duration at .050.

The XE284 and 292Mag would be a much better comparison, for the larger grinds. I'll throw it out that in a heavy car the 292 takes the XE284......

Im not a fan of split duration cams, and after talking at length with Dwayne, I understand why.
