I never ran the XE myself just seen many many threads on here and a few people I know as well(I am not interested in wasting my money on one). The guy with buick wagon (full drag car) is dialed in real good , hitting hard a barely gets 11's. I will say a similar cam and gear swap that is comparable when a buddy had his 455 powered 79 TA at the 1/8th mile track. He had 2.73's and a Summit 2801 224/234 114 and ran 8.3 , switched to a lunati 230/230 110 and 3.23's ran rougher , drank gas , more rev's on highway and it still ran 8.3 but lost on all positive aspects(economy,driveability,etc) .
