I do not have experience with it in my own vehicles, but it is a common cam in a 383 combo. If you want a smoother idle then stick with your current cam.

Should run great. I have the xfi292 in a manual trans 383 and don't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Zero adverse affects. The 280 should be a great match to your combo.

if yer on the street only you'll love the 280, but the 383 will swallow a 292 no probs, you'd love that one even more (only MO)
