Replacing the cam in my Little Red replica. Been looking at the Lunati 10330703lk anyone have any knowledge about this cam. Looking for input. I have a 428CJ in the car

  A little more info is required:  Automatic or stick?  Compression ratio, iron or aluminum heads, dual or single four barrel, type of intake.  And, do you want a smooth idle or lumpy.
  I too am building a clone of Lil'Red too, so, all this matters. It too will have a CJ block.

  Meanwhile:  I was just cleaning up my work bench and happened across some cam specs....yesterday.  Give me a day or so to find them again.  And NO, my wife does NOT tidy up my stuff so it walks away.....

  Here you go.  This is from a September 2013 Mustang Monthly.  There was an article in it about building a stout big block FE motor.  And yeah, this one featured Survivor Motorsports FELony aluminum heads.
  In the text it was suggested that since these heads flowed so much better, a more strreetable cam could be used.   The old cam specs: 0.594 lift
                                            234 degree duration
                The new cam specs: 0.563 lift
                                              224 degreee duration.

Their engine was pushing 500 horse power on a 445 C.I.D. engine

Well, that was five years ago.  And now there are new Trick Flow heads just introduced.  Good luck.
