Damn it all:BangHead: go to open the Lunati cam box to get ready to install and we get a Chevy big block cam card with it! Correct cam, wrong card. Anyone running the Lunati Voodoo 256/262 hydraulic part# 10200701 and have the cam card handy and willing to post a pic the @.050” specs etc? I have the Wallace calculations but want to be sure.

I am running the 10200701 cam but no clue where I put the cam card.
I will look for it today.

You may as well snail mail Lunati as email them. Maybe a phone call will get you better luck.

Really trying to get it installed today but if you find it greatly appreciated
 
Hey DR...how do like that cam in the 273? What are your engine's specs?
I really like this little cam. I looked up the specs for the stock commando solid lifter cam and tried to go just a little more with a hydraulic unit. I built the motor component matched for 5500 RPM but have easily gone up to 6K without missing a thing. I used Egge 10.5:1 out .040K and Edelbrock LD4B with AVS2 500 CFM. Really just a cruiser-------

@DesertRat ....Thanks for the reply, DR. Would you have a video of your engine running (would like to hear the idle)?

Don’t take this the wrong way...... but if you know the specs of the cam you bought....... what extra information would you need from the cam card, that not having it would keep you from installing the cam?

701 voodoo cam...... 258/265-112 in at 108.

Degree to 108....... done.

Just wanted the sheet to make sure the Wallace @ .050” specs I got were correct, easier to verify @ 108 like you said which is easiest to install, but wanted to check the @.050” open/closing events just to see how accurate thing were and if my measuring setup still gets repeatability. All good:)
 
Good Choice
Lots of improvement of the Voodoo over the Comp XT even between the chevy versions
UDHarold made even ore with the Mopar versions
Evidently got a new computer and increased the number of polynomials and resolution
I could post more if anyone is interested
Anyone else notice how the Lunati is quieter? That's a clue
 
If you’re going to the trouble of putting a degree wheel on it, then you can determine what the cam actually is with more certainty than what’s printed on a piece of paper.

Take your readings at .050 lift on both sides of the lobe, determine the actual duration @.050, then determine what those points need to be for the cam to be at the desired c/l.

The cam card is not generated from your particular cam.
It’s the theoretical data based on the lobe designs and theoretical lsa.

The data taken from the physical measurements are what the cam actually is.

On a mild streeter like what you’re working with, a quick c/l check of an intake and exhaust lobe, check lobe lift, check duration .050 is all I do.

Maybe 5mins per lobe.
 
That’s good info for anyone reading this thread. I’ve got the wheel, the dial indicator etc. I like setting things up, rotating the engine through and actually seeing where all the events occur. I’m one that would like to plot a cam out on graph paper like shown in my old Isky Valve Timing booklet, no other reason or benefit than for pure enjoyment doing it. This cam installed dot to dot, at 108.5 degrees. That I got repeatability with my tools is also important to me, overall a smashing success:)
