I'm curious what experience you have had with Lunati, I'm considering purchasing a cam kit for the SBC in the Nova. Similar grind to Edelbrock Performer Plus but a little cheaper. I tend not to run what everyone else has just to be a little different so want to hear what luck some of you have had with them.
I just had a 2000 Camaro SS with Lunati cam and LS6 heads and intake and headers etc car was making "huge" horsepower, and had been built in 2003 so I belive that the cams will last.....
Unless you're a witch doctor, choosing the correct cam can be nightmare. These Voodoo cam and lifter kits by Lunati are the answer! The gurus at Lunati have taken cam design to another dimension with profiles never before utilized in cams. Only the world's best profiles are included in this line, making cam selection an easy choice. Voodoo incorporates 30 years of cam design experience with more recent developments in profiles, geometry, and tolerances to deliver the most aggressive ramp profiles ever used in hydraulic flat tappet cams. Asymmetrical lobe designs with slower closing sides set the valve down easy, to reduce noise and premature failure of the valvetrain. These cams deliver more "area under the curve", meaning more throttle response, quicker acceleration, more vacuum, and better efficiency, combined with maximum horsepower and torque. Matching lifters are included.
Lets face it, few things serve to grab our attention at a car show or cruise night more than a car with a thumping, high performance idle. In fact, one of the most frequent questions fielded when customers call our CAM HELP® tech line is what cam will give my engine a mean-sounding idle? In response to this popular demand, the COMP Cams® engineering team proudly introduces the Thumpr series of camshafts.
The Thumpr Camshafts are a series of hydraulic flat tappet and hydraulic roller camshafts that are now available for most popular applications, carb and late model efi.
The reason that the new Thumpr Camshafts have such an aggressive exhaust note is that the lobe profiles and grind characteristics chosen by the COMP Cams® engineers produce a combination of early exhaust valve opening, long exhaust duration and a generous amount of intake and exhaust overlap to maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the cams without negatively impacting the power output or streetability.
Thumpr Camshafts are available in three different grind profiles for each engine, all of which will produce a rough, racy exhaust note and impressive amounts of horsepower and torque. Their cutting-edge design means that they will deliver a substantial power increase over "tamer" camshaft grinds without sacrificing reliability or ease of maintenance.
Thanks for the replies, I'm planning to get a barebones Cam Kit that is a good daily driver grind. Similar to, but a bit more agressive than a Performer plus. Comp Cams is out of my budget range so the Barebones is the one for me. Inexpensive and a Brand name that I think is trustworthy. For the Pontiac I'm going with a VooDoo grind for sure as idle will not be an issue and it will be a race only application. Again budget is key so I can only run a cam that I can afford to get valvetrain to match with.
