New Hemi Camshafts
High Performance Billet Camshafts Available for Chrysler 5.7L & 6.1L Hemi Engines
Lunati has introduced three new Voodoo high performance billet
camshafts for Chrysler 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi engines as well as a new
custom grind program for the same engines.
Designated
mild, intermediate, and aggressive, the three new cams are aimed at
high performance Hemi engines in Street Machines, Street Rods, Muscle
Cars, Drag Race Cars, 4×4 Off-Road vehicles and, if applicable, Marine.
Though
all three of them work well with blown and nitrous applications, the
mildest one (p/n 61900) provides excellent torque at low speeds through
mid-range; it is also ideal for Hemi-engine pick-up trucks pulling boat
trailers or similar.
The
intermediate camshaft (p/n 61901) is ideally suited for higher
performance engines with upgraded valve springs, aftermarket
programmers, and higher stall-speed converters.
The
most aggressive one (p/n 61902) serves a wide range of modified
applications, including those with an aftermarket converter, upgraded
intake, a blower or nitrous induction.
Because
these new cams subject the valve springs to increased valve lift and
higher velocities, Lunati recommends upgraded Beehive valve springs (p/n
74835LUN) and retainers.
Compared
with the performance of the original equipment, Lunati has applied
faster acceleration and deceleration ramps on their lobes. They open
the valves faster, allow them to remain open for longer, and close them
faster. This method increases vacuum and builds cylinder pressure with
less lobe separation. By reducing the lobe separation angles they
improve throttle response. Lunati likens the quick-acting valve
acceleration and deceleration process to the sensation of standing by a
fast-opening door and feeling the increased air velocity rushing past.
The final act in the closing process is to set the valve into its seat
gently. Available for immediate delivery, these new cams are priced at
$ 413.60.
