286 would be a stonker cam in that engine :)

Thats if it's not a turbo and judging by your post it's not.

286 camshaft with a 3,1 diff would be Okish, but I'd say 276 for the road any day. The piper 285 and Kent286 are so similar that they could be treated as the same.

If you already have a 285-2 then I would stick with that.

286 is a great cam for the open roads but not great in traffic.......

On paper the 285 and 286 look fairly similar but in overall driving terms the 285 has a wider power spread and is not quite so peeky a properly set up engine with the 285 will power from 1700 the 286 2600 That just might be a consideration for overall drivability.
