I went 11.98 @ 109 @ 3680 w a 9.3-1 463 220 cfm dport.
xe284 dynod at 443 hp and yes it went flat at 4700 rpm.

So with a better cam or springs it would have run better.

Ruh-roh..the dreaded XE word! I've used that cam before in a few builds. It fits good in compression challenged 455's. Has a great sound and as you know needs a bit more valve spring. Nothing at all wrong with 11.98 @ 109. I would think the mph is down because of the springs. Shim them and let us know how much you pick up!

Idle was very noticeable.

PLEASE do not turn this into another XE bash thread. I noted that to indicate what a low compression car is capable of.

the 284xe worked well in my 455 with stock 48's. I switched to 96cc,9.3:1 compression, 6x-8 heads,so will it work with that cam as well?
rpm intake,850dp,3000 converter,3.50 gears.

IMO it would be a pretty good combination. The XE cams close fast and help build cylinder pressure. I feel the XE284 is a decent choice with a 9:1 compression 455. Your converter and gear will match up good with that cam. You also have a good manifold and carb.

I have a ealmost exact duplicate of the "of" but a bullet grind. I am also running the crowed H.I.P.P.O lifters. I have the intake set at .006 and exhaust set at .008 cold. What is the lash everyone recommends?

I think the consensus is going to be .006 on both. I just set my lash a few days ago and set it at .005. but am open to suggestions as well.

Can you post a photo of the cam card?

The drivetrain is pretty much done,the 9" depleted my finances. The body is stuck in body shop hell. Lol
My goal was always to get my heap to run as fast as your brothers iron 400.
Being a 455,it should.
Lots of goals,slow to get there,but i haven't given up hope yet.
