Comp cams xe268h for 318

156 VP is a snappy engine.

I have VP 152 in my duster with a 340.
And a VP of 155 in my old 360 truck de-tuned down from 212 in my old truck with a camshaft and head-gasket change.

Both vehicles built with the intended use.

The old truck is a complete torque monster spins the tires on the on-ramps on the interstate in 3rd gear, not just a chirp, fish tailing, its a 4x4 with a 4 speed, stock tires.
My wife says I ruined it for a winter vehicle, too much power.
Good numerical perspective on low RPM torque.... but you can be sure it GOES anytime you push on the tall pedal on the right, no hesitation. With a manual trans, start out in 2nd. Ford C4 and C6 trans had the feature that you could start in 2nd gear too; can you do this with a Torqueflite? (I just never paid attention...)
