Lunati cam
Ok I am going with vortec heads on basically a stock L82 engine with headers. Is this cam to much?

The duration at .050 is more important for reference than gross duration. As long as you're less than 225ish @ .050, you should be fine for great mid range HP and torque. However, I seem to remember that the stock vortex heads and springs were only good for .460 lift. You might want to check before buying.

Keeping it simple, with a stock setup I've had real good luck with the Comp 268/454.Great rumble without vacume probs. No need for a stall and will pull hard with the stock carb,intake, and headers. Lunati is making some real cool cams these days. You may want to call them for a recommendation.

The RPM range starts out at 1500. I don't think a higher stall converter will be necessary but maybe recommended. It looks like the cam is pushing the envelope. Your best friend(s) may be the support people at Lunati. Too 'big' of a cam for a street car may sound nice as it idles but may be a pain especially if running 3.08 gears.
