Hydraulic roller cam thought
 

Has anyone run this cam?
Lunati Voodoo cam
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 282/290
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 231/239
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .530/.550
LSA/ICL: 110/116
Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd
RPM Range: 2200-6200
Looking to run in 462 10:1 motor Edelbrock heads (87cc)
4:10 gear 28" tire
I want a driver, comparable to a c6 corvette power.
68 Firbird

I purchased that cam, but haven't finished installing it in my 455 -- hopefully in the next few days.

The ICL should read 106°. Typo on the catalog, but timing card shows 106°.

Definitely install it at 106°. The VooDoo cams HAVE to be at least 4° advanced to work right.

What's the specs on the motor Nacho?

Lugnutt,

455 + .040". 9:1 compression, port matched iron d-port heads.

You have way too much gearing.Do you have the heads already?How much power do you want?Or how quick do you want to run?

I agree,3.73 to 3.55s should be fine.Tom

For conversation.....

Calculate RPM for given MPH, Rear Gear Ratio and Trans Gear Ratio
http://www.wallaceracing.com/calc-rpm.php


105 mph 1/4-mile trap speed (a guess)
28" tire
4.10 gear
1.1 trans ratio (presume a TH400 trans)

Result = 5166 rpm

(does not factor in converter slip and tire growth)

Now ask at what rpm will the proposed engine make peak power at ?


.

Hell of a cam...........

Bwahahaha... good catch. I changed it.

And of coarse the mph was a wild guess. Not enough known about the proposed combo.


Example of a combo, again for conversation only....

4.210 stroke, unported alum heads, 10:1 compression, Performer RPM intake w/ Q-jet, headers and a 230 degree hyd flat tappet cam will make peak power at about 5200-5300 or so rpm. A similar roller cam might extend that some.

And keep in mind where a combo makes it's 'peak' power rpm at is much different than where it will 'rev' to. Often 'reving' it a lot higher can be non productive. Also where it will be shifted at for best performance at the track.
.

Not really looking for a "quarter mile cam", I am more concerned with its characteristics on the street. Throttle response, best converter, will it work with e85?
I have a Ehead wideport combo right now (65ccchambers).
I Just decided to try to make a driver out of my car, instead of a race car. I may even throw a Procharger on later!

It's tubed isn't it? Got room for a 32" steamroller tire Kev.....;)

Yea, it has 31's on it now but, they are slicks.
I would like to put some 19's on the rear.
How are you doing Troy?

31x18-20
 

I guess I could run something like these
