Default XE262 vs XE284

I'm currently running a CompCam XE262 on my 355, 9.7:1CR, Dart 180heads. I have lots of torque and vacuum. Anyone using the XE284 and would I see any noticable improvements?

I run a Comp XE-284 in my 406 and it shakes the fenders at idle.Works well for my combination,but I think in a 350 it would be too big.Now if you run a stick, and have strong rear gears and don't mind a pro stock idle,it'll be just fine.

I'm running a similar combo, 355, 184 G.M. Phase II heads, 9.6:1 compression, Air Gap manifold, and a crane 274 cam, under a q-jet, with a 4-speed. I'm wondering what you consider alot of vaccum. Mine is at about 14 at 800 r.p.m.

But of course! True duals. But I lack the torque off idle. Once rolling everything runs strong. Great stagger at idle. But like I said, I lack low end torque.
