I'm running a XFI 292 and like it, but the power is all up high so yuor gunna need a stall and gears.

For a daily driver I'd suggest the 268 over the 280, give you abit more low rpm power for cruising around town

Re: comp cam XFI 280

Its a big cam for a 350, so you better have good heads and a higher stall converter. Dont forget the custom chip tuning.

Re: comp cam XFI 280

I have the xfi280 cam, although it is a flat tappet.

The power is up top for sure. But I have a 3200 stall and 3.73 gears.

When I have the engine below the sweet spot, once it hits 4500, it's awesome!

Make sure you have a good intake for that cam, it wouldn't work on a tpi.

I had a hard time deciding between the 268 and the 280 cam. On desktop dyno, the difference was about 15hp but the 280 cam made the power 500rpm higher, same with the tq, higher but it was 500rpm higher.

Hope that helps!

Re: comp cam XFI 280

It works on a TPI.

But, I'd go with the 268 for a daily driver with a 350.
