“On the design, the Bootlegger is more like a race cam on the exhaust opening with just a little less overlap to allow some street manners,” explains Lunati engineer David Chamberlain. ![]() ![]() Lunati, however, took a radically different approach. The introduction of Lunati’s new Bootlegger hydraulic series – with its wicked 108-degree lobe-separation angle, fast opening profile and plenty of area under the lift curve – will serve only to fuel the flames on this heated bench-racing topic.Īccording to legend, the first 3/4 cam was developed by Ed Winfield when he matched the intake lobe from a full race cam with the exhaust lobe from his 1/2-race series – hence the 3/4 designation that has evolved into hot rod vernacular for a hot street cam. Ever since hot rodders in the ‘50s started swapping “3/4-race cams” into their engines, the search for the ultimate street cam has been an ongoing and highly debatable issue.
