Lunati Cam

I agree with crackedback fuel supply volume is likely the culprit. Upgrade to a Holley Red electric pump and a 1/2 fuel line with a regulator. You can dial it in after that and won't have starvation issues any more.

I second the ET over dyno point. Track is where it's at.

I have a 1/2 line including the pickup, a 40 micron filter which is high flow. We are going to try a new Carter 120gph pump and if we have the same issues I'll upgrade to a Holley and reg.

In all fairness, you have carbs are way too small for the STR. I did one with two 650's and they were too small, but the customer didn't think that until we went to the dyno. I would love to do another STR because of what I learned on that one. I feel like I left 20-30 HP on the table, but when worked that STR is a nice piece.

I would think (and I will always say this) that a custom ground cam for your application would be a better choice. You have a very good thing going and you test and, from what I can tell from here, you test well. Think about a custom cam. I use on a regular basis these companies:



Racer Brown...Jim is a MoPar guy and is hard to beat.
Cam Motion...been using these guys since 1997 and never had a cam that didn't do what I asked.
Jones Cams...Mike Jones does some outside the box stuff at has experience I almost all forms of motorsports.
Bullet...these guys have all the Ultradyne lobes.


There are others but this is who I use. This is not a slam on Lunati. I'm just not big on off the shelf cams.

Your now the third person that's suggested we increase the carbs on the STR along with the internal mods. I want to use the STR and the above was a test to see what we would gain using a modern manifold.

Thanks for the suggested custom cam manufactures, I'll contact them and see what they recommend.

Going to do a test and tune over the next 4 weeks to see how we go. I'll keep you all posted.
