Lunati cam?
I searched but couldnt find anything. I am rebuilding my 83 460 and need advice on a cam. im looking at the lunati 61605LK. Here are the specs
Cam Style: Hydraulic flat tappet
Basic Operating RPM Range: 2,500-6,500
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift: 241
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift: 249
Duration at 050 inch Lift: 241 int./249 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration: 284
Advertised Exhaust Duration: 292
Advertised Duration: 284 int./292 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.582 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.600 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.582 int./0.600 exh. lift
Lobe Separation (degrees): 110
Intake Valve Lash: 0.000 in.
Exhaust Valve Lash: 0.000 in.
Computer-Controlled Compatible: No

Lifter Style: Hydraulic flat tappet
Would this be a good cam? The truck will see plenty of pulling stock trailers and atv trailers
Thanks, Chase

is this a fairly stock engine? if so then that is probably a little too much cam especially for a pulling motor.
you want the rpm range to be in the 1500 - 4500 rpm range for a decent pulling motor. that Lunita cam is more of a top end cam and probably sacrificing a lot of low and mid range torque for top end. not what you want in a tow vehicle.
i would look for a cam that is in the 240 - 260 advertised duration and max .5 lift. you want a strong low - mid range cam and that Lunati cam is more top end.

( voodoo cam 61605) Designed for VERY HOT street / bracket race applications, this cam requires a minimum of 10.5:1 compression, 4.11 gearing, and 3500 RPM stall converter. Works with up to 250HP of nitrous, and pulls VERY HARD past 6500 RPM when coupled with the correct parts. yep too much cam for your intentions. a comp cams x4256 would be much more in tune for your useage or something with similar specs as this
