Default Will LT1 Heads Work With Hot Cam ?

Will stock 95' LT1 heads flow enough to support a GM Hot Cam?

Thanx

Yes, they will work well with a Hot Cam.

No, I have a custom ground camshaft matched to my ported LT1 heads.

The Hot Cam is fairly mild for a DD, especially if it is a M6 car. For an A4 you might need a little higher stall converter.

It is an M6 with 4:10 Gears.Didn't want to kill my gas mileage too much.
What kind of H.P. increase you'd guess I'd get with just changing to the Hot Cam?? .I have stock exhaust as well.Just want a little more Umph !
I'll definatly will get a PCM Tune.

With a good tune the Hot Cam shouldn't hurt your fuel mileage.

With a Hot Cam 1.6 RR's and a good tune you should see a ~30 HP increase.

Hotcam is very street friendly and I didn't notice any real drop in mileage, unless I make it drop.

Might as well buy a new one. The cam itself is only a coupe hundred bucks. If you already have the springs and rockers. The savings over buying a used one vs. peace of mind of new isn't enough IMHO.
