Ive heard from several guys that have build a 2.5 with the 288 cam that it is to agressive .. not much happening at all under 4.5 .. i had a modified 2.7 with a 282 dbilas cam .. that ran really nice.

You know with the 2.3 you are missing the torque of a 2.5 / 2.7 engine so if you install a cam that is to agressive you will enlarge that by turning the powerband to the higher rev range

Exactly .. it all depends wat you want to do with the car .. sometimes a bit less power during a larger rev ranges is more fun than max power during a very small rev range
