honest opinions needed here

Considering your thoughts on this Bill, that combo is about as good as it gets, considering the criteria. Then there's Tyler's thoughts...lol.

Now days the XE268 is really the go to cam for a regulation SB street car. Years back it would have been the Magnum 280* or one of the many derivatives.

The XE will have a nice sound, still uses mild springs, and be very drivable. Will it take out your 440, I doubt it.....Just don't let him read this. :)
