Camshaft input from experience.

[Raider L]

@jasonconaway,

I have a Lunadi in my trucks 350 very close to the Voodoo. You'll like it, it has excellent across the band power and it has a bit of a lope. It's a good general use performance cam and the 1800 to 6200 rpm is perfect. You won't need big heads, that will save you money but do use a good flowing head just not race heads. These days people are using the high lift relatively short duration cams and get good horse power/torque band cross at between 5500 and 6500 rpm. It ain't a head snapper like some of the Comp. Cams are and for a good all around hydraulic lift cam I think you'll like it. Put on a good set of headers and if you want put a TCI Saturday Night Special 2000 stall torque converter or one up to 2500 in your trans and you'll have a lot of fun!!

I’ve spoken with Howard’s again and I’m going with their Rattler cam. I may a sacrifice a little power to get that sound I’m after. But for what I’ve heard and read it’s a pretty sweet cam overall. Thanks for everyone’s input.

Sounds like a good combo. I'd bet you've had at least a few guys ask why you're not running a 750!

I haven't been questioned about it, but, I've seen too many guys over carburete their mills. I'll never hit 5,000 and a 600cfm really caiculates well for torque.

I've installed about a dozen of these in engine build-ups almost identical to yours and never had a complaint. Has the idle you are looking for, but more importantly, is a great performer with 650 CFM carb, ignition and headers.

Hope that helps,

That's pretty close to my cam spec. I have a little lope but I can pull stumps out.

Don't know how accurate this is but, got this with your numbers @QBuff02 .

Real time driving would tell the truth tho.

That's a great tool. Thanks
