lunati street master cam
I want to pack as much punch into this little sucker as I can within the limits of my combo.
Ahhhhhh, allways the goal it is. I want to hold my own you say. Allways the goal at a min. But what exactly does it mean to you vs. someone elses idea. Thus the dilemna. Opinions opinions opinions.....
Don from cam-motion told me today that I should run a 209/497 on a 114!
(likely 209 duration @ .050 ?) While I respect this input from a shop that actually will grind a cam, and that being there biz and main job, you can go to Comp, Crane and Huges for more advice from these 3 respected places and have 3 more different cams.
Rumblefish, I have recieved great input from you for a long while, now, and I respect your opinion.
Thank you very much.
I do think my recomended cam will perform well and move you well, but at the same time, as above, 3 more members here can come up with 3 more cams that will also perform well. The above mentioned Crane is my choice and you have to figure out what you will run.
do you think that summit/crane grind is right for this setup?
I have run this cam in a 318 before and been so happy with it that I'm running it again. The problem with that is, "Is it the same thing your after?" I thought so and recomended it.
I also do not see your car as light. IMO, if it was, the cam recomendation would have been larger. Being the engine is a 318 with J heads, you'll need a smallish cam to keep torque up. Even with the 1.88's in there.
I have run that cambo before with many wrong parts. LOL He he he. I learned how to go slow first before I went fast.
Mike beck, a member here runs (Ran actually) the Crane version in his Duster w/a 360 to the tune of 12's. Though more track oriented with 4.10's, it should show you the potential of this small cam when backed up/set up well.
How far are you willing to take it? I don't know. But Mikes Duster is testoment and my opinion is it will be good in your set up.
The last intake combo I had on the old 318 with the Crane was with a LD-340 and T-Q. Best set up I had on it. This was also a number of years before the RPM. Backed by a 4spd in a E-body Cuda, It did well out on the streets.
