Many years ago when involved with a pull truck - used Lunati - good at that time.

Why is that?

None of the Lunati cams I hve seen are compatable with the truck SD EFI system... just so you know, if you have mass air then you're OK.

well i am building up a 351W to replace my 302 and want to put in a more aggressive cam with more low end torque. I am having trouble finding ones that will work with the stock computer though. I was originally looking at one from crane cams on summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-444232/ , but i found out that crane cams apparently went out of business. so i found one from lunati that claims it will work with the stock computer http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUN-310A1LUN/ , my engine is a 90 351W w/o mass air...

Look at the summit cam sum-k4400. It's 99.95 with lifters and 3 degrees of duration less @ .050 then the lunati which you would never feel in a truck. I have ran 3 different summit cams over the years in different vechiles and have loved them all. I plan on running that one in my truck when I go through the engine next month.
