Re: Comp Cam XE256 (nunus79)
nunus79, Question ; for an engine with stock exhaust & no headers, with good intake,such as my 427 with Endlebrock alum heads & stock side exhaust & no headers, would a cam such as Crane PowerMax 272, intake 216/Ex 228 be a good high tourque option ? :confused: the DOG :confused: ALOHA :seeya

Re: Comp Cam XE256 (StrayDog)
The Dog,
I would imagine your 427 has ample compression to support many different cam grinds. So, bleeding off some cylinder pressure down low to help some upper end breathing may be a good thing in your case. I just don't know enough about big blocks and their breathing characteristics to even begin to say if a particular grind will be good or bad. There are or have been some on this forum that have had extensive experience with camming. I do not pretend to be one of them. Hopefully, one of them will chime in to answer your question. Good Luck!

Excellent idea!...... again! ;)
