Which cam should I get

[67_Dodge_Charger]

I have narrowed my cam down to a solid mechanical flat tappet.  Here are the two I am looking at;
Comp Cam 294S 248@.050 .525 lift or Mopar purple cam 284 duration with .528 lift.

I like the shorter duration and more lift but I was wondering the trade off between these two grinds.

Thanks for any helpful replies.

Robert, what's the combo ? stall ? gearing ? tire diameter ? Engine displacement ?

It is a 383 bored out .060 stroked out to 496, edelbrock rpm heads, offenhauser tunnel ram with two edelbrock 500, msd ignition 6al,        1 7/8" hooker super comp headers and 2 1/2" exhaust, 2500 to 2800 stall (depends on the cam), 3.91 suregrip, and 28" tires.

500 cubes is a lot of engine to feed....you'll want 250*.050 minumum duration. The Comp XS290S would be a descent choice for an "off the shelf" grind to work with the rest of your combo. For a converter, a nice 10in (tight) street/strip unit from Turbo Action would be my choice. 

The 294s "magnum" cam in your first post would also work but it would idle slightly worse than the xs290s and make less power....it is an older "slow ramp" profile.
