Lunati vs Compcams

[texas69bee]

Between these 2 cams, which one will be

1) Stronger(faster motor)
2) Yield more vacuum
3) Have a quieter valve train

Remember Comp has the Chevy grind and Lunatis Voodoo cam uses the mopar grind

I am ignorant of all these numbers and did not know that the CompCams were Chevy grinds. The Comp in my 440 has the sweetest sound on planet Earth at idle. Great low end stump pulling and rolling waves when entering car shows uncapped.

Thats the same cam in my 6 pack motor (voodoo ), I can tell you with a comp valve job, speed pro teflon coated 6 pack pistons, hd crank and rods, gasket matched 906 heads, and MSD ignition, (plus 6 pack of course, with ci manifold also matched) the motor made almost 500hp 500ft lbs, 10.5 to one... only cam that we tsted that was as impressive was a comp 285hl, but we changed rockers and used a bg 975cfm with matching intake , that made 530 and tq was like 550 but we only had 6" of vac...
go with the voodoo...

Has anyone else had experience or have an opinion with these cams?

I can tell you I wont use comp ever again after 4 sets of comp lifters failed on me, so now I run lunati cam and lifters

Those two cams are so close it's a hard call but I would think the Lunati tops out in vacuum. There's something going on over at the Comp Cam's camp and I think it's quality control. Except for their top line, expensive cams, I am constantly reading posts on many forums about failure and breakdown of their products. Once regarded as top quality product I believe they have become a household name that is manufactured off shore but marketed as though their "Made in U.S.A." It occurs to me most people are sorta stuck in the past when "just gotta have a Comp" was the way to go but today even small shops doing custom grinds seem to surpass Comp's quality. Just search: problems with Comp cams in Google. Time for a change.

I have that linati cam in my 318 right now. I just broke cam in like a week ago. Sounds pretty good i checked vacuum at 850 rpm idle it was 10-12 inches. But im gonna check again sense gauge i had was dropped and always sits at -5 hg.
