Hey guys i havent posted in awhile since my motor went out, but im just about done peicing out all the pieces for my new combo and I was wondering if the Lunati 51014 Cam would be a good choice for me.(Duration @.050 IN/EX: 218/226; Lift IN/EX: 500"/510"; LCA/ICL: 112/108) I got a new 306 shortblock coming with forged internals and dished pistons, Slightly ported stock E7's (ya i know, those are hopefully not gonna be on there to long, just on a real tight budget at the moment and got to get her runing) Trackheat intake, full exhaust and every other bolt on and a Vortech S-Trim at 11psi. I really like what i have read about this cam. Any input you guys have would be really appreciated! Thanks
Lunati 51014??

That camshaft is an older design meant for exhaust port restricted heads, which is why it has a bit more duration and lift on the exhaust side of things. Now, having an exhaust bias like it does can be a benefit on boosted cars to try to evacuate all the forced air from the supercharger...
If you had aftermarket heads, you would benefit greatly from another cam, because the aftermarket aluminum heads have much better exhaust provisions...
Lunati 51014 - 218*/226* - .500"/.510" - 112* - 2,500-6,000 RPM

I run the Steeda #19 cam. Eventhough I am n/a, the cam is really good for superchargers. Powerband is like 2500-6000(i think). Plus, the cam works with our restrictive computers. It's only a .480 lift intake/exhaust, but it has a nice lope to it

There was a guy on the Corral using that cam with AFR's or TFS heads IIRC
That combo produced some curves that left a lot to be desired IMHO
btw ... that combo was NA
Not too many peeps have used it from what I've been able to find
so
Not a lot of data is around to use for research
When you don't have much data
you are always at more of a risk :Word:
With the blower ... that can change things as it is gonna cram the mix in there
no matter what ... but still ... you are wise to pick a cam that will be the most
efficient for your combo.

In no way am I disagreeing with you
and
I don't mean to imply the cam is bad or anything like that
but
Can you provide some data to take us beyond opinion
Perhaps ... expound on those ... great numbers
m0l0 gave us his combo as seen in his sig which kinda helps everybody
see his application
Maybe you could provide a dyno chart or 1/4 mile times or list of your combo
parts or something along those lines
