Lt4 hotcam questions- is this a good blower cam?
I just saw the full specs. It kind of sounds decent for a blower cam. What do the cam experts think? I already have one installed in my car; just curious what people think. Thanks!

I'm certainly no expert, but I can parrot what I've researched on this forum and elsewhere. From what I've gathered, you don't want to go less than 114 (maybe 113) on the LSA for a blower cam. Otherwise, the overlap is a little too large, and you end up blowing a bit of charge straight out the exhaust port.

I knew a guy in Dallas that was running a Vortec with the HotCam.
Strong running car, but he wanted a true blower cam for it for the reasons stated.
