for a street car which cam would be better keep in mind i do not want to ruin my springs every 10,000 miles and want driveability/reliability i do however shift at 7k so if someone has any reccomendations or suggest another cam input is greatly appreciated

I would use the XFI280 and something like the Manley beehive springs that are 150# on the seat. PAC also makes good springs. I don't think you will be able to spin that high with the 26918 valve springs. Keep the valve train weight down.

The 280 is a good cam, but if you spent the money to rebuild your bottom end then spend the money on a custom camshaft. That way you will get the best power, driveability etc. Also at 7k are you still making power? Just because you can go that high doesn't mean you are still making power.

There are VERY few actual valvespring manufacturers, and when considering springs you have to consider what it may take to get them to fit and get installed height right.

My opinion of the XFI stuff is low.

yeah if you want to shift at 7k I would go with a custom cam, I don't think the 280 would be a very good choice for that.
