The XE 274H is a more modern grind vs the 292..I was a tad short on compression and gear to make that 292 work the way it should.I picked up .4 vs the rv cam..I had a few gremlins day of test and tune..I have to fatten up my jetting and make timing adjustments..This cam should had picked up way more than .4 over that small rv cam..I'll figure this out real quick..
