Hey Guys,

In talking with UD Harold, about a specific Lunati Roller for my car, he is really high on this cam the 290 R. He suggested I ask if anyone here on the site is using this cam, to see how they like it for performance and sound. I am going with a 454BB,9.5 to 1 Comp. Edelbrock High performance RP heads, airgap2R manifold, and 3:73 gear. With this on Computer dyno I am showing these numbers:

451 HP 591lbs Torque @ 4000 RPM
508 HP 593lbs Torque @ 4500 RPM
551 HP 579lbs Torque @ 5000 RPM
578 HP 552lbs Torque @ 5500 RPM
577 HP 505lbs Torque @ 6000 RPM
557 HP 450lbs Torque @ 6500 RPM

Does this look good to you guys?

Can anyone get with me on this to tell me how they like this cam's idle and performance? The Specs are
.630 int/exh lift, and .244 int. dur/ .255 exh dur
Lobe 112

Thanks

Call Lunati, ask Harold or Steve. From what I gather, they are the only ones that really know. I have talked to a few other guys at Lunati that know nothing other than how to look in a book or computer and read what it says. I have been trying to get ahold of one of these guys for a while now, to no avail. I will keep trying and if I happen to get through i'll ask for you.
