I contacted Lunati for a suggestion on a cam to match my current engine components. I believe I have a lifter problem and hate the cam I have now (Edelbrock Performer RPM I think). Here is Lunati's suggestion and specs.

Voodoo Hydraulic Flat Tappet 10230701
Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 256/262
Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 213/220
Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .454/.475
LSA/ICL: 112/108
RPM Range: 1000-5500

I told them I was looking for was a street-able cam to go with the Edelbrock E-Street heads (0-5500 RPM), Edelbrock Performer manifold (0-5500 RPM) and Holley 750 vacuum secondaries. I drive this car to work in summer and don't care about top end. Compression is stock so I think about 8.5 in 74 Dodge 400. I also am not happy with the 10" of vacuum I currently get at idle. Thoughts on this cam or a better one?
 
I have that same cam. I switched out the comp cam xe268h for the lunati. Running close to 10.1 comp. I've fired it up but it hasn't been road tested. On my 383@1000rpm I have 14 vac. At 1500rpm I have 17. Enough for you vac secondaries.

My bad, I had to double check, I am running the 702.

I have a 703 Voodoo. I am getting 15" of vacuum at 750 RPM. 701 cam is milder and you should be getting more vacuum, but it depends of particular setup.
To me it looks like your cam is supposed to be very street friendly.
 
The first time I contacted Lunati was using their cam finder app, which sends an email. They came back with the 701 recommendation which surprised me since I was looking at the 702 or 703. So I called them yesterday. The tech I talked to also recommended the 701 for my car, based on the compression ratio, even though the whole top end has been changed. I don't recall seeing this on their site, but he said the 703 requires a minimum of a 9.75:1 compression ratio and the 702 a minimum of 9:1. He said I may be able to use the 702 if my compression ratio was at 8.75:1 but I may not be happy. Since I believe the bottom end of my engine is stock, even with the Edelbrock E-Street heads the tech was guessing my ratio at 8.5:1 or under. He said I could use any cam but the overlap on the 702 and 703 cams would bleed off too much compression and I don't have that much to spare. Bottom line, according to him, was the bigger cam could mean less HP, less torque and less drivability. Based on comments here, research and Lunati recommendations, I will be ordering the 701 this week.
