Comp or Lunati Cam for 390 Galaxie?
By joe - 05/10/2004 11:20:46 PM; IP 24.147.43.196
I Have to purchase a cam kit this week and would like to get some opinions on these cams.
The car is a 66 2-door Galaxie with a 390 (.030). It is being set up with a blue thunder 2x4 medium riser intake with two holley 450's. It has C8OE-A heads. Crates headers and a C-6 with 2500 stall converter. Stock gears for the moment.
I am trying to choose a cam and I have narrowed it down to the comp cam 268 (218@.50 .494 lift 110 lobe) or the Lunati Bracket Master II series (.223@50 .514 lift )
I'm interested in having decent idle, vaccum, and torque (considering it's a heavy car). These two cam choices seem to me to be the maximum output before you start loosing those things. But I am no cam-expert. I want the most power I can get without giving up too much of those 3 charactaristics. Any suggestions of other cams are welcome also, But it's time for me to make the choice. Thanks
