In the smaller XE cams installed in a smog 7.6-8.2:1 Poncho I could see that being a good torque building setup and good response but in the case of the XE274 230/236 110 lsa 106 icl and a 041 RAIV 230/240 113.5 lsa and 112 icl , the Ram IV is going to idle better. A poorly setup or mismatched RAIV setup can be blamed for poor performance and the less revving EX274 installed and feel better in that mis matched RAIV combo shure but a properly setup RAIV street car can run mid 11's which the XE has failed to match at the same .050 230 degrees.
