Is This Cam Streetable?
I plan on building a stock stroke 360 for a 4-speed Duster, 10.5:1 - 10.75:1 compression ratio, good internals, ported Eddies or Procomps, etc. The cam i'm leaning towards is one of Lunati's Voodoo "retro-fit" hydraulic rollers. Specs are as follows:
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 294/302
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 243/251
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .560/.565
LSA/ICL: 110/106
RPM Range: 2600-6600
Is this reasonable? I'm not familiar with driving a carbureted engine of this caliber on public roads to be honest. Car should be fairly light, no a/c no power steering no power brakes a833 and some decent gear. Not sure on the ratio but it feels like 3.55's+. But I was going to ask before I got ballsy and ordered it and ended up with an engine that's way too temperamental or something.
Anybody here running a cam like this on the street a lot? How does it do
I too am running a Lunati Voodoo albeit one that is two steps below yours.
Lunati Voodoo (part# 20200711):
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 270/279
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 219/227
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .515/.530
LSA/ICL: 112/106
RPM Range: 1800-5800
Excellent street manners and great midrange power. Very smooth but healthy sounding idle. I had many people compliment the sound of the exhaust. I currently have 9.7:1 compression.
I am running an automatic so it does change things a little.
The cam I had before however was a Comp Mutha' Thumpr.
The cam performed pretty good but was a PITA to tune right. The exhaust stunk pretty bad because of that. I had many comment the smell vs. the sound of the exhaust. Rough idle as well because it was designed for lope and not performance.
The words I would choose to describe this cam would be, "touchy" or "temperamental".
The stats of the Mutha' Thumpr: (Hyd. roller)
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 291/311
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 235/249
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .522/.509
LSA/ICL: 107/102
RPM Range: 2200-5900

Ok, have you looked at one that is one step below yours, it does seem a little more street friendly: (One I was really thinking of getting at first... Still might with my next build)
Part# 20200712
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/290
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/239
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .535/.550
LSA/ICL: 110/106
RPM Range: 2200-6200
According to Lunati's website: Likes up- graded intake, carb and exhaust. Needs 2800 RPM stall converter in most cases. Requires 9.5:1 compression.
