Default Lunati 224 vs Thunders 224

I got to looking at work today at some different cams in the Lunati book. They have a 224/224 .560/.560 112. Seems to be pretty similar to Thunders 224. I cant find a cam card for either. But how would they differ? Are the VE's going to be the big kicker here??

im learning cams are complicating as hell. you can read one opinion here from someone with an awesome reputation, then read opposite opinions from another with a great rep the more i read the more confused i get

is it in the voodoo series by lunati? because i know they use an asymmetrical lobe design in that series which is supposed to allow the engine to spin to higher revs without as much risk to damage...

i think the tr lobes would be better out of the two since they have a faster ramp rate. compare cam cards i guess.

the TR does have a fast Ramp rate, but we would need to know more specs on the Luniti cam to be able to compare..

The Lunati 224 isnt in the Voodoo series. Just browsed the Lunati books and saw that stuff. Cant seem to find a card on the 224 though!!

Ill post up the cam card for the Voodoo cam I looked at:
* Advertised Duration IN/EX: 272/278
* Duration @ .050 IN/EX: 222/228
* Gross Valve Lift IN/EX: .567"/.567"
* LSA / ICL: 113/109
* Valve Lash IN/EX: Hyd/Hyd
* RPM Range: 2000-6600

Cam Card
