im just wondering what all of you think would work better with my set up
.030 351.
stock crank and rods with arp rod bolts main studs and head studs
trw forged pistons pn L2446f350 comes out to about 9.8 compression
crane power max hyrdaulic cam 272 284 duration ( at .050 is 216 228. lift is .484 .512
comp cams pro magnum 1.6 roller rockers.
world windsor jr cast iron heads 58cc 1.94 1.60 valves ported and polished.
clevitte 77 race bearings
melling high volume oil pump
moroso 7q oil pan
fluidamper sfi certified balancer
sfi certified flywheel
motor has been all balanced and blue printed.
right now it has a eledbrock performer rpm intake on it with a 1 inch open spacer, down the road im going to switch to a victor jr probally,
holley 750 dp
bbk 1 3/4 long tube headers 2 1/2 off road h
4.30s spool and moser 31 spline axles are out back.
the comp 280h specs out at 280 duration ( 230 @ .050) .512 lift and the 292 specs out at 292 (244 duration @ .050) .518 lift im probably going to pick either one im thinking the 280h is a lil small on the duration side though but i could be wrong thanks and if ay of you have used these cams in a 351 before id like to know how the idle is:)

considering your rear end setup, i assume this is a trailor queen? is it going to stay all motor?

first off, i'll give the generic "go custom" recommendation. there is no better way to make power exactly where you want it, but the cam will be on the north side of $300

I think the 292h might be the better route. you are probably looking for more high-ish rpm power than low speed driveability (my guess) and the added duration and lift should give you just that. you may want to try out Comp Cam's tech support, they may give you a solid recommendation, considering both cams are made by them.
 
ok, as long as you aren't using the spool, i agree, it won't be a bad setup.

i dunno then, that's a tough one. both cams will probably make a lot of power, but i imagine the smaller one would make low rpm driving a lot more bearable.
