Combo Four: Lunati "Small" Cam
For you guys who want to run power brakes and have a milder idle, we swapped in a smaller Lunati cam with 221/230 @ 0.050 and 0.484-inch intake/exhaust lift with a 1.6:1 rocker. It pulled 12-14 inches of vacuum at 800 rpm and made over 450 lb-ft of torque starting at 3,500 rpm with a fat peak of 470 lb-ft at 3,900. Wanna burn rubber sideways on the way to work? Here you go.
