IMO the XE256 would be the better of the two cams I recommended. I can not find a good example of a XE256 on youtube. However this video of the XE262 in a 307 should be close to what the XE256 would be in a 283.

Thank you sir! That's good info. Comp Cams is also recommending the XE256 cam to me and I'm leaning heavily towards it. I've used Comp Cams in the past (before "Competition" was shortened to "Comp" HAHA) and really liked the results and quality.
