I have a 70cst with a factory 402BB and 400 auto. with 3:42 posi, & Thorly Headers. The Comp Cam I now have is XE268H-10 but I'm going to replace it with a Comp series 262 cam. Why you ask. The 268 was to wild for me. I had to switch to a Stall Converter and I did not like the way it shifted. I want somethinf tamer to work with my A/C. The 268 has a great idle/lope and sound. Good low end-mid range. In my old age I don't like my neck being snapped (know what I mean)plus It's to much cam for my son to play around with. To answer your question: the 268 has a great lope and sound, good low-mid range torque. Again I would contact Comp to get specifics. I would guess most aftermarket cams to wild and are not matched to the engine which leads to disappointments. Just my .0002 cents worth.
