Lunati vs. OEM: Camshaft Comparison

Have you ever wondered if you could produce more horsepower with a Lunati Camshaft? The guys at Westech do a comparison between an OEM camshaft and two Lunati Camshafts to determine the performance gains a Lunati Camshaft has to offer.

I've used Voodoo 262/268 flat tappet cams in my 351w and 460 BBF and LOVE THEM. For the street, you can't beat them.

All I run are Lunati roller cams so my assumption for cam 1 is either the 50121 or the 50514. I run the 50121 in a fuel injected standard bore 351w with Promaxx 175 heads and a ported Professional Products (Edelbrock knockoff) EFI intake and it makes a solid 479hp at the crank. P heads aren't bad heads as we can see and I've ran them for years. I prefer P heads over GT40 irons anyday just due to the fact of the 20hp that they make over a GT40 iron head and the compression bump. People say that they are basically the same. They are not unless the the GT40 iron head is ported

Just put a Lunati VooDoo 60301 256/262 cam in my 1968 H code Chrysler 383. Man what a nice cam. Idles great, great vacuum and tons of torque. Very nice for a 68 fury with a 4 speed A833 and 3.23. Bottom end of engine is completely original as are the the 906 heads.

Did you change out the pistons? I was wondering about ptv clearance. Also, did you install them straight up or at the least the first one?

[johnsheetz]

I love all cars but there's nothing comparable to the sound of a 5.0 V8

[aarongammel]

Can someone anyone find out or tell us if they checked for PTV clearance? I'm wanting to put the first cam in my 1990 302H.O.

[coyote.]

Is this with factory OEM pistons. the lift on those cams are huge.

I'm using lunati voodoo 499/483, in a stock old love this thing good street manners is what I needed. Next to the old one it looks 1/4" taller, lol. All kinds of duration is nice, until you have to drive it every day...

[flinch]

Closed captioning needs help: "0.020" lift" reads 20, 000 to the viewer! Carve me a mountain. I think that falls on youtube [whatever software they use], but since the audio level is so low, it becomes an issue.

[shaneshane]

Oh yeah? Well, one time on a Thursday night, I made an extra250hp more with a stock cam. Then on Saturday morning I was pulling my engine.
Damn nitrous and cast pistons!

This video would be truly helpful if we knew which model cams were used, small and middle mean what? 262 and 268? Please update cam models. I've used the Lunati VooDoo 262/268 and love it.

[poorboy]

Lunati can I be the first to get cams for my 2013 mustang gt. Your cams are always on point

[charlesthorpe]

Very impressive numbers, but the video is lacking valuable information.... Can either of these cams be used with stock pistons? Cam degree? Intake used? Carb used? Any of this information would be great. Thanks.

[hatersdawn]

Nice!... I'm about to build a 393 cleveland with 290HR comp cam and .4v oc heads (for XW Falcon 1970) does Lunati do a cam for clevelands? p.s. Im down in oz!! love these vids keep em commin.

[raywaltdecuba]

Lunati 10350702 Voodoo 219/227 Hydraulic Flat Cam Ford in a stock engine? could this work or would i have PTV issues?

[garymathews]

I liked the cam specs on the sbc Voodoo cam for my 427 sbc

[cliftonthomas]

How does the lunati cam compare to the Ford x303 cam

[ronnieyoung]

I have a Chevy Malibu 78it a small block Chevy in it 60 over it's got four things in the rear floor speed I want to know if this can work on the street I have the part number to lunati pm part number is 10 12 0705 the grind number is dh35 dash vh36- 110 I hope you can answer my question for me

[jeffpeterson]

Did the pistons need to be notched for either of these cams?

[jonprice]

I have a 96 explorer I wish I new the #s on the first performance cam I want it
