pnut, I'm not sure what you are thinking here, ....... Now, some lobes are ground with these clearance ramps being symmetrical and some are ground non-symmetrical. Again, for comparison purposes here, we'll assume a symmetrical lobe.
You hit on a point here. The lobes on the voodoo series actually IS assymetrical. The opening is quite quick to give "more area under the curve" to quote Lunati's description. But it goes on to say that they close more slowly to reduce the extra stress which would be caused by fast closing.

So now I have to decide if the fast opening and the associated risks are worthwhile. I think my answer will be yes. From the research I have done online, the voodoo cams have been spoken of favorably.

I did ask the Lunati tech if the springs which came with my Holley heads (assembled) were appropriate for this cam, and he said yes. The are single springs, I have to look at the spring rate and compare those to the springs recommended on my own to be sure.

I did decide to go one cam tamer however. I will be installing the 60101 instead (looking at Lunati's site on the cam details and description). The 60101 gives and even lower rpm torque curve.

Thanks for all the advice, and I will degree the cam (an extra 2 degrees).
