I'm personally not a big fan of the cc306, it's old tech and many custom and newer off-the-shelf stuff can make the same power, more efficiently, on a smaller grind or better designed one
AI and LE both have grinds that make the same peak power with more midrange and low end, using less duration and easier to tune.

You guys act like it was hand carved with a chisel way back in the 1930's. If you ground a new cam with Comp's newer XFI lobes with the same exact lift and duration numbers as the 306 I bet it wouldn't pick up more than 5hp, if that. The 306 is an excellent camshaft.
I don't hate the cc306, it's a proven performer. but the fact of the matter is better cams exist and with all costs being the same why not opt for a better design
it's not a true LT1 cam, it's a gen 1 design carried over for a gen2. From what I've heard the very large split on the cc306 isn't optimal for the design of the intake nor heads

So much cc306 hate, geez.

Too bad there isn't an XFI cam ground with exactly the same specs, so we'll never know. I didn't say it would gain 5hp, I said "if that". People bash this cam like there's no tomorrow. I know cars that run this cam well into the 11's, actually bottom 11's.
