I'm running an XE256 and 3.23s.. Didnt want to go lower in the rear cause i'm only running a th350.. Turns 3200 on the freeway. The cam wasnt actually picked 4 the car.. Originally built the motor for my 70 pickup and wanted to keep the torque up. I'd probably only step up to the XE 262 anyway though.

Thanks for the response! What kind of times are you running with combo?

I am running a super-small cam in mine. It is a old General Kinetics cam 200/210 @ .050, .408/.430, 112LS. Damn near stock, so I wouldn't recommend it.

The XE262 looks real nice for a 327.
