I put the Comp Extreme Energy 268 in my wife's truck, and I will agree with all the above. It's an excellent cam to increase torque and power. BUT, it SHOULD be used with upgraded valve springs and increased stall converter as the duration, and lift are considerably more than stock. Another cam I'm running in my smallblock powered S10 Blazer right now is one from Crane's Blue Racer line that has 214/224 duration and .442/.465 lift. I feel it's a much better choice for a mostly stock engine. Still has a noticeable idle, good torque and I'm getting great gas mileage. I've been running it for 42,000 miles now and runs just like the day I put it in.
