It's not too different from the CC306, so if you like that cam you will probably like this one.

That cam is too big unless you're running a serious 383 or 396 and want to maintain a hydraulic roller setup.

Looks sort of like a stock eliminator cam, with too much lift

For a stock-headed car, or for a ported-headed car?

That one is kinda small, IMO.

Why do you want a Lunati? For the uniqueness? ROFL! Bad idea, man.

Out of all of those cams on that page, I like 54756 the best for an NA car. 232/242 110* LSA...

Hell yea! This cam would own the 306! I too am looking for something different than the norm 306. I would prolly go with a 112 lsa though, like the 306. I would seriously consider this cam if I had extra cubes...

cc306 = 230 / 244, .510 / .540

lunati = 242/252, .525/ .540

Man don't give up on it. Compare your second choice against the cc305.

CC305 = 220 / 230, .510 / .510 114 LSA

Lunati = 232 / 242, .510 / . 525 112 LSA

See........it's not to small

232/242 would own a 305 or hotcam...not doubt! It's a little smaller than the 306 and there's a few ppl running 306's on stock heads. It would be a good median for the 305 and 306 and it would different too

$842 for cam and valvetrain kit

Thanks for showing us this! I might be the first with a Lunati cam around here Anyone have one? My dad had a Lunati solid roller in his BB, and it worked real well.

Shhhhh!



No prob, I just hope I get credits for being the first to 'discover' this, hopefully no-one else has this cam.

242/252 all the way! The more I look at it...the more I want it! This could be perfect for my secret buildup

How is it smaller than the 306 cam? Its 232/242 and the 306 is 230/244. Plus if you notice the Lunati cam is on a 110 degree lobe seperation. On stock heads in a steet car you'll have a little bit of a vacuum problem. I'd say its wilder than the 306 cam.

Greasepunk (somthing about that name sounds familiar ) If you are going to get that cam get it on a 112 ls and make sure you inform them its for an LT1.
