My main question would be "carbed, or injected?"
Im running a 383 with a CompCam 280 (I think they changed the number a couple of years ago and we built it in '98). I know it has over .500 lift and it sure sounds cool. The biggest issue I had was getting a chip burned so this rumptedy-rump stick would not load the tailpipes with too much fuel due to the duration being so long.
As for my suggestion, I would go for the 268 if you are going with efi and the 284 if you are going to carb it. The 268 still has enough sound to get attention but enough performance and vacumm to not be a pain if you go with the fuel injection. I know thats what I would do if I did it over again.Last edited by troy_cryer; 06-27-2004 at 06:16 PM.
