I had an 285* Piper cam on my xr3i and that work like a mofo on high revs, so is it safe to say that the 285T2 is like that?

The 285T2 is a bit of a naff cam, might make a good paperweight though. Better off going for a Kent CVH35

got a piper 285t2 and i love it, got a big turbo so dont ever notice if its off cam, boost starts rapidly climing at 2700- 3000rpm, and holds power to the red line.

It's because the profile is very similar to that of the Kent CVH 35 then was then tweeked a bit to get round copyright. The T2 cam sacrifices power and torque lower down the revs for peak power right at the very top.
