Nope it's bollocks. Stop listening to people talking shite in the pub 
The cam will work in the engine but it won't operate as well as the stock cam

I heard a rumour that an EFI cam is slightly higher lift than an MFI one, as to if its as good as as a 286 i wouldnt like to say, having had a 286 in a cvh, i wouldnt have thought so!

I would have thought the Piper camshaft would be made from harder metal than the standard Ford camshaft. Ford CVH camshafts show signs of wear from pretty much 0 miles - CVH heads use really hard springs compared to alot of engines and the rockers are harder than the lobes
