Hughes STL5460AS-8 vs Lunati 40200913LUN cam

Jax said

How much of a difference performance wise would each cam have? Besides that the Lunati is a solid roller vs Hughes solid flat tapped?

Hughes Engines

Drag Race Solid Roller Cam - Chrysler 273-360 288/296

They seems pretty equal on the intake duration @ .050, however the Lunati has 3 degrees more duration @ .050 at the exhaust.

How much of a difference shall the extra 3 degrees make??? From my perspective, it will provide more top end power vs Hughes.....

I like the Hughes cam profile, but would prefer a solid roller cam going forward.

IMHO when you ask a question like this you need to provide more information regarding intended end use, engine displacement and the intended vehicle.
These days I would look hard at the roller, considering oils availability. Lifter durability can go either way. Staying away from cut rate Chinesium components ups the durability factor immensely.
For my 289, I have a flat tappet mild cam taken out of my 351. Because I have this good condition cam I will use it. If I had to purchase a cam I would go for a roller cam and Morel lifters. That will explode the wallet, but you do not want a failure of cheap parts causing a failure requiring a complete teardown.
