Anybody run this in your big block? Recently bought a camaro with this cam and am wondering if it is one that can see some street use without problems. Not talking lots of miles, but I like to cruise around and raise some hell. Cam is a 258/268 dur@.05 and 680/700 lift and 110ls

Yea I called lunati and they basically said its a matter of time before the lifters would act up. This winter I am going to find out what ones are in it and replace them with crower or isky ones. I will put mostly street miles o it, but I don't let it idle and I keep the rpm up on it, plus with the 4.56 gears that is quite easy to do. I don't know what springs are in it, the guy I bought it from had put new ones in it, but at the time didn't realize how important they are on a solid roller motor till I started reading here and over at team camaro. I have faith in lunati after reading udharolds many posts, didn't find any with this cam though. Lunati tech said its pretty aggressive on the ramps but nothing crazy.
