Night Fury Cam by lethal racing, thoughts?

Looking to go for a cam that isn't too tedious to drive as a daily driver and makes great power. I make 420 rwhp and looking to get close to 500 ( 470-490 ish ).

I have my eye on the Night Fury cam package from lethal racing, does anyone else have the same cam ( i know people do ). How does it drive? Do you enjoy daily driving a cam car ? Ive never had a cam car so this is all new to me.

Which number would it fall under referring to this chart?






thanks for the help!

Sorry to thread jack but I would be interested in owners opinions as well. I love the way this cam sounds and the power its been making. However, this would be my wifes daily driver and she isn't going to be happy about changing her driving habits a whole lot. Also the bucking at low rpms would be a no go for her. If it were going on my car it wouldn't be as much of an issue since its not daily driven. I was also considering LG's G6X3 but have seen that it may not be suited to a grocery getter/commuter vehicle that only sees monthly track time. Thx

You also should call Lethal and talk to them. Tell them you what you want and don't want. I talked to them for a while to help me decide and they were quite helpful.

I just picked up my car from them Wednesday afternoon. I had them install their night fury cam and stainless works LT headers as well as some BMR suspension parts and it drives great. This is my daily driver and it is very well mannered on the streets. I can idle my car down the road with no bucking at all. You will notice some surging cruising at low rpm but it is very minimal. For example I was going 60mph in 6th and let off and it did not start surging until i dropped to about 40mph...again, very minimal at that. Hope this helps.

Tedious to drive is a relative term.
Whats super streetable to me may make it too tedious to drive for my Mom.

Based on the chart above, I'd place it between 2 and 3. It certainly turns heads, and people are always asking what I've done to the car to make it sound so badass lol. I have some surging cruising around my neighborhood at 25-30mph and then maintaining a speed of 45 it buck a little.

ill let customers do the answering, but feel free to call us with any questions.


IMHO, i think that chart is outdated. you can have a racey cam sound, but with proper cam design and tuning, it can have excellent drivability
