The 283s have been r&d for 50 years, just becuse you have a new car and want to go 1.20 under the first time out? Robin and Gene B have throw more camshafts away than you will ever try in the new cars. Hard work trial and error over the years got those cars where they are at. They where not fast when they started but got there over years of trying. The world has change and some are like little kids that want it now. Tom

427 COPO
428 CJ
2012 S/C CJ

Charley probably slid down 2 or 3 :)

Tom when I try a new cam I haft to Buy two at a time. I have 3 sets on the bench that don't work @ around $1100-$1200 a set, plus the set in the car. Robin can try 6 to 7 different cams to my 3 sets. So don't tell me I don't spend the time and money on R&D. I can't tell you how many hours myself and others have spent at Holbrooks, Ronzello's & Big Stuffs trying tow find a little HP here and there.
Myself and others bulit my car from the ground up, so don't give me is BS about hard work and wanting everything right now. I work for everything I have. Just like most class racers.

Ed the 283ci 220/224HP is now 220HP in a 64-66 Chevelle.

Your welcome Norm, just think of it has a early X-mas gift.

Not trying to argue Charlie, but how many YEARS of R&D do you have tied up there? How many sets of headers, etc?

Ed years have nothing to with R&D. I could put 20plus years of R&D into a combo and it still may not run. Its what and how you do R&D that makes the difference.

Don't go breaking your arm patting yourself on the back there David! Because the only thing I notice is stupidity when some no driving **** triggers a review just to thump his chest!
