im tryin for about a 2800 to 5800 power curve captain. 25 ft/lbs isnt all that bad considering it probably more than made up for it higher in the curve. maybe i shouldnt get too greedy with the duration and go with the XE 276HR. Hmm...... decisions, decisions... Chevy HiPerformance Mag did a 383 called the twister that pumped out 480 ft/lbs with that same 282 cam. It was quite streetable with 436 ft/lb at only 2600 rpm, maxing out at 486 ft/lb at 4200rpm. Im hopin this power will get my 3300lb nova in the high 12's considering im gaspin for air myself at 3600' elevation!!!
