Lunati cams have made good power. Like the MTI C1, C2, R1. Some of the Texas Speed Cams were Lunati for awhile, not to mention numerous other vendors who have used them in the past.

Depends on where you want power, what you want for idle, how much maintenance are you willing to do (spring changes, etc.) if you have emissions testing to pass. Lots of factors come into play when selecting a cam because the wrong one can make the car less fun depending on your goals. For example, if you want to maintain a good idle then a cam with a lot of overlap will be lumpy when idling.

I'm running a Lunati cam & loving every minute of it.
224/224 .576/.576 112LSA is what I'm running. It's a MTI C2 cam.
As a side note, MTI did not send me the cam I ordered and I did not notice this was the case until having some head work done and the engine builder asked me what cam I'm running so as to avoid any problems with piston to valve clearance. Not much MTI could do at this point but it still sucked to find out that his happened. The C2 cam I ordered was supposed to be 224/224 .581/.581 112LSA.

Lunati is a big name in Pro Stock and Pro Street racers.
Been around since the 60's and I believe they were made in Memphis.
Sold to Holley a few years back as part of their performance family.
I think they are reputable.....JMHO
