Default VooDoo???????

I was looking at the new voodoo cams that look like they have a great powerband on them.... The specs on the 1st are:

#1....227/233@050.....522/.538....110 LSA......1800-6200 RPM

#2......233/241@050.....538/.560....110 LSA.....2200-6400 RPM

#3......241/249@050.....560/.582....110 LSA.....2500-6600 RPM

If i go with one of these i was thinking about the 1st cam... What do you guys think.... Have you heard anything on them or what??? Please let me know what you think...

Again i am building a street/strip stang that is going to be driven daily.... The 347 kit i am going to be using contains:

Eagle cast crank (rated at 500hp)
Eagle "SIR" Rods (rated at 500hp)
Probe SRP forged pistons (CR is 9.9 with a 58cc head)

I will also be using the Hawaii racing stroker prepped block... E7 heads for now but will be switching to AFR 185 heads in the future.... I have an Edelbrock Air-Gap RPM intake manifold... 650 holley double pumper carb... 4.11s are going to be installed also... These are all the major "cam desiding factors" i believe....

Thanks in advance....

Ya i hope it will... But have you heard of these new Lunati Voodoo cams... Has anyone ever used Lunati??? I hear that they are some of the best cams but just want a little advice here... I would rather do everything right the first time you know what i mean?? Will this cam fit my needs??? These cams are hydr. Flat tappet cams will this work with the roller block or will i need a special hydr. Lifter??? I am not sure how much different the roller blocks are, as i have never build an engine with one... If you need a special Hydr. Flat tappet lifter where could i find Them.... These cams are boasted to have the biggest power and torque for a hydr. flat now and for years to come.... So could you let me know if it is a could way to go and any comments or thoughts on it would be greatly appriciated... thanks..

Theres a guy here with a lunati cam, but i forgot his forum name. But the cam looks like it has a great powerband. Sounds like the perfect cam for a F/I car.

I run a lunati cam it is a part #51023 and it runs great i love it, it is in my everyday driver it has a lot of lift and a short duration so it idles great and when the power band kicks in it feels like you just got kicked in the ***.it makes a lot of torque over power i never got to dyno it but i can tell you just how it run it felt like it would pull a moutain over.

Lunati makes great high performance cams so it should be a safe bet. I was planning on using a Lunati cam in my Pontiac but decided on a Comp Cams kit instead. I saw the VooDoo cams in the new Summit catalog I got so I was checking them out as well.
