I took it off the Mopar.com website for the stiock 340 replacement cam. I don't run MP because of quality so I'd not be surprised if they had it wrong...lol.

The 340 replacement cam is a nice step up over stock. A much
larger cam than stock by a good 10*'s or so.

I noticed the MP replacement cam is quite a bit different/bigger than the original.

Ok, So if Im going to buy a cam what cam should I go with and whats the advantages of each? This is a street car that I may take to the track to race in trophy class.

The XE262 or the XE268.

This is a 318 car, 8.75/727. Already has a Edelbrock performer intake with a Edelbrock 600cfm carb.

Which cam? Answer the question, what gears do you have and what size tires?!?!

If it were myself, and the car has 3.23 gears and a stock diameter tire, I'd go with the 268XE and just increase the tire width. I would not enlarger the tire size much. A 245 width would do fine and fit in the wheel well.
