they told be if i went with the 305 cam and didnt do 1.6 rockers and stayed 1.5 that i would NOT have to do springs.....what do you all think about this?

 

I personally know many of the guys at comp. What was the guys name??

 

i think it would be very silly to take that chance

 

I think calling the tech line is luck of the draw and you drew badly this time. If he recommended that cam, the 1.5 rockers and stock springs then every last thing he told you was completely wrong, well let's see you answer the above question, maybe he got his own name right, we can hope at least.

 

Maybe he was in his internship. At least you know better not to take his word for it.

 

I called them and told them my setup...mild 355. They told me to go with there biggest xfi cam lmao....the xfi292 or something...and 918 springs :P

Yea, well the guy I ordered my cam and lifters said he wasn't aware that they ever had any problems with their comp R lifters. HA

 

They told me that their 915 springs would work well with their 503 cam... That's the last time ill be calling them for advice!!!

 

I called them a few days ago to help me choose a turbo cam and He only wanted to know if its a m6 or an auto, thats it. He said he didnt need to know any thing else. He didnt really seem to care to help much.. I will never call them again.

 

thats why i bought a lunati voodoo.
good old harold grind, the same guy who owned UD, and did the XE line of cams, and also the voodoo series.

I've only seen two decent f-bodies running the xfi292, my buddy had one last year in his 355, it didn't like it too much. I believe he switched to the GM 847 and a lot of his driveability problems went away. I'd probably only use a xfi292 in a bigger cubic engine like a 396 setup.

Customer service hotlines aren't worth diddly pooh, and that applies to any sort of product really.

 

i have REALLY been thinking hard about going with a lunati cam...but no one ever posts about which ones are the best, everyone just always talks about comp...what are the good lunati cams out there?

 

go with the voodoo line.

the part number i have is 60122.
its for a 87+ factory roller block motor.
its going in a 96-2000 vortec truck motor, thats going in my chevelle.
specs in at
231/239 duration 282/290 535/550 (w/ 1.5 RR's), 110/106

they have the rollers so you can convert a FT block to roller, and they have a line of hydraulic rollers, and also solid rollers.

with my cam i had to push the pin in for the timing gear because they come out far enough so it can be used on an lt1.
it also has a fuel pump lobe on the front, its ground from a billet core too.

if you want to see alot of happy lunati cam owners, check out www.chevelles.com/forums and do a search for voodoo cam, alot of happy owners and great power making combo's, (i personally know 2 solid roller big blocks (one 408, one 468, making over 500whp all motor), and i a 388 with the biggest voodoo FT cam with 200cc rhs heads and 12:1 on nitrous).

the comp and crane grinds are old grinds (except for the xfi stuff). lunati rep told me that the hydraulic rollers were not going to be advertised like the FT's. not sure for what reason, but i think it should be.
