Anyone running these cams?

Post by pats71 » Thu May 13, 2010 4:14 pm

Anyone running the lunati 60303 or xe268h in their big blocks? Any sound clips? I'm going to be running either one in my 383 with hipo manifolds and a 2.5 inch exhaust. This is the combination I'm going with:

*383 .030 over
*KB 400 pistons
*452 heads with minor port/polish work (maybe larger valves but I'm thinking of sticking with stock valves)
*Edelbrock RPM intake
*Barry Grant 750cfm carb
*1.5 roller rockers
*Hipo manifolds
*3.90 sure grip 8.75 rear end
*Air conditioning with 4 speed
*Manual brakes and power steering

Most of these car factory options that came with the car. I really want to go with the lunati 60303 just because it is larger and looks a little more impressive than the "universal" xe268h cam. Whether this will work with my accessories or not leaves me scratching my head as the cam guy I spoke with over at lunati didn't really seem to know what he was talking about. He just simply said "I like that cam for your setup".

There's a guy over on moparts offering to sell me a xe268h cam for 60$ that came out of a motor he bought built, but the cam was never ran. He swapped it out for the xe274h.

What do you guys think? Opinions please... :stirpot:

idk, i thought about a voodoo cam, but they recommend a higher stall converter, which was not on my agenda, so i went with the XE268. i like it - sounds like a quiet freight train rumblin along. mine's a 440 ~9:1, 69 HP intake, 650 DP, hedman headers, 2.5" summit exhaust

not the best video, for sound upfront, but a good exhaust clip
