Anyone using one of the new Lunati Voodoo cams? Curious of what you think of it. I am in the process of building a stock bore 400 2 bolt main with the LUN60104LK cam kits with their matching springs kits for my Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads, the cam comes in at .504"/.525" GVL with 110/106 LSA and .276int/.284exh adv duration. I still have to figure out the cc of my piston since it is dished, the piston sits down in the hole .025", but I need to get cc of the piston to determine how much to deck the heads to get to 10-10:5:1 compression for this motor. My 700R4 trans with 2400+ stall convertor is built for the power and torque and the rear end is also. Thanks for any input you may have..

 

Yea, I ran a 60103 in my 350 briefly. I wiped 4 lobes off it though, so I ended up with a compxe268 (was in stock, didn't want to wait another 3 weeks for another lunati cam).
It was a nice cam though, the 60103 is essentially between the xe268 and 274, with slightly more aggressive ramps then comps xe series.

"blackgold84TA" I think is one guys name, he's got the 60103 with trickflow heads. And a dynosheet, 400HP IIRC. I think he was trying to sell his car though.

That cam should work nice for you, I think it's a 232/238 ish cam or something? Similar to the xe274? It won't feel very aggressive in a 400cid though, just so you know. It'll be fairly tame.

 

According to the tech sheet, the duration @.050" runs at .233int/.241exh. From the lunati web site, the 60104 will work with the rest of the combo of 75o holley, air gap dual plane manifold and the 2400+ stall convertor in the trans. I run 3.73 gears and hope it will run good.

 

Vincent Z28 runs one but with the intake duration around the 226 degree mark. His car makes just a tad over 370rwhp with a 355 motor. Has run something like 12.42 in the quarter. Not a bad cam at all.

 

That would probably be the 60103 that I had.
227/234 .489", .501" IIRC, yet is 268/276 advertised

comps 268 is
268/280, and 224/230 and .47x/.48x IIRC.
I really like the lunati cam, if it wasn't for the big shipping cost i'd be running it now...

Just be damn sure you get the break in right, those are insanely aggressive ramp rates.

 

Yes, you are right when you say that I need to get the break-in done according to their instructions. I plan on using Shell Rotella oil for diesel motors since it has the additives that will aid in break-in. My engine building friend says that is the best way to go and I will use the 15-40w oil that I see at the parts store. My hope is that I can get everything dialed well enough with no major leaks to allow me to get through the break-in period. I think this engine will definately move my Z-28 quite nicely. I hope to run 1/4 mile this summer to see what it will finally run with this combo.

 

I wish you all the luck in the world. I sure as heck couldn't figure it out (on my first motor build).
I used pennzoil 30wt (lunati calls for a straight 30wt oil), and a can of GM EOS. I'd highly recommend you run the motor over by hand a few times to make sure no pushrods bind or anything, that will cause certain death.

 

I will keep that in mind and as I said above , the Rotella oil seems to still have the additives that have been take out of car motor oil such as zinc and a few others. I think it will be a runner that's for sure. Thanks for the replies..
