I have a daily 70 charger with a 440 but I'm planning on getting SRP flat top pistons, headers, RPM heads (whole new valvetrain), 5 speed TKO-600, and either 3.55 or 3.73 gears. Just to add, I also have a performer intake and holley carb (which I also need help on deciding a new one, vac secondary but what size). I was wondering which cam I should get, I'm between the Comp XE268H and the XE274H. I've heard good about both for street applications but they're very similar so what are your guys opinions?

We ran Summits cams in both BBs and SBs.The small one is close to stock but a bump up.The large one is a bit more lumpy but has decent street manners.Ran one in my 440 for 4 years and was happy.I ran a 800 double pumper on my 440 and 383 bee.Rocky

I have run most of the XE grinds,nice cams, but they are noisy. If you dont mind a little noise run a purpleshaft .528 mechanical. Its worth at least 25HP on the XE275HL and its very mellow. I have one in my 440 with SRP pistons and it runs great!

I second the MOPAR 528 cam . Changed out a comp XE268 in my 451 earlier this year and very happy. Starts and idles nicer , and way out rips the Comp cam in low and top charge. That Comp cam would always stink at idle and yes just as noisy as the 528 solid . 3rd. Ran it in a 440 in a '71 'cuda. Very good natured and tons of torque!

I hate when ppl gets stuck into Comp Cams like chebbby guys do.
Crower, Lunati, Hughes engines... shame Engle is not anymore around like 5 or 10 years ago. Lot of ppl used to get the Engle splitted grind K56/K58
Personally, I’m fan of Crower being 112 degrees for street manners.
Need to note I’m not a mech or performance expert but by specs I like those
To my stroked 400(451) 10.2:1 CR I choose the 282HDP but the 271HDP was good too. I think for a flat top 440 thats a better one on street.

There are a bunch of better hyd lobes than comp xe and many are old as dirt but don't make noise or kill parts. You can pm me or contact someone that has a clue. A mild solid(like the MP .528 ) would be a good choice for a street car. i agree.

Never said garbage, I just said there are MANY options sometimes better, toward to Mopar engines and less generic grinds than Comps. i allways have felt Comp being a generic Chebbby based grinds. Dunno up there, but down here Comp is like a belly button LOL

To the OP, talk to Dwayne Porter,he should be able to give you a good idea of what you need. I run a Scott Brown .563/.555 that is a solid cam that is very close to the .528 Mopar, which I was going to go with unitl I ran across this cam. I don't think you can go wrong with the mechanical Mopar cam.

If you're absolutely married to Comp Cams then the 274 will work just fine for you. I ran one in a heavy car with a 360 and 4.10 gears for years. Drove just fine and never an issue with power brakes.

I'll say it! Comp Cams are trash and not the Comp Cams of old! Stay far away from their hydraulic roller lifters in specific. Oh, and don't bother asking them for advice on grinds for your combo. Phone or email.

Man , a year ago when i was putting my engine together , you would of thought from all the GREAT ADVICE i got from this website that the Comp Cams XE Hydraulic Series was the only way to go - Especially there XEHL Series Cams
Now a year later , there Trash - Garbage - Junk , So many better options
I looked at Howards - Lunati etc. back then , read countless builds online , all the reviews from other Mopar Websites BUT BUT BUT
YIKES !!!! What the hell happened

comp cams seems to have won the marketing battle with their large dealer network and all the favorable magazine/internet write-ups. very unfortunate. the internet isn't always your friend either.
