I think Blue was refering to overlap, and if so I agree with him as far as losing some of the compression stroke due to the valves both being open as the piston starts back up during overlap- but the 282 cam is going to require some extra head work to advoid spring bind or your gonna break some I promise. I found out the hard way TWICE! I guess when your dumb you gotta be tough.
I pulled the second mushroomed cam out & went to the 268 he from Crane. My low end torque went up thru the roof & she pulls right thru 7k.
Now you need to give us a little more information on your set-up before we can help you with your question, what do you want the engine to do? The set-up for power is different than that of a torque set-up.
If your putting that cam in a stock engine than it's going to fall flat. It requires more compression ( 10 1/2:1 i belive) and your A/F mix has to go way up or your gonna run too lean & burn the exhaust valves.
I got two that I use for door stops.
Also- there is no compression till both valves close- but yall know that.
