318 cam choice again

Slower love meaning the 106 lobe separation vs the 110 lobe Sep from comp?

Think of the lobe as climbing a hill.

The slope on the XE cam is steeper than that of the Herbert cam. The valve lifts faster with the XE. The herbert is probably a chevy based lobe which has a slower lift rate.

If you are wanting to bottle it, the XE cam is a better choice as well, you want a wider lobe separation angle.

Let me look around here and see if I have a XE274H.
