Just got my comp cams 280H installed in my 65 short bed. Motor is a 355 from jasper with 9.25:1 comp and with headers and 2-1/2 flowmasters this thing thumps like a big block. I still have to run the valves and put antifreeze in it but I just couldn't wait to fire it up.

280h?thats pretty big for a 9.25:1 comp.ratio.
don't know what your looking for but your milage will be terrible.

not a daily driver not a race car its a crusier plus its easier to put heads on than it is swap a cam in my book. I plan on upgrading to a 64cc head from 76 so that will help. If I was worried about miliage I would buy a ricer or four banger.

Mileage What is that I now have 1200 miles on my comp cams 286H on A balanced 355 9:1 compression. Mild ported 194 heads

Dood, I was just at that web site looking at that cam. How much did it run you if you don't mind me asking? I have a fresh 350 sitting on the floor of my garage waiting to go in my truck and I am thinking of upgrading the cam.
