Default Is the hot cam worth it.
Just looking for some feedback on anyone who installed the hot cam in the ZZ4. Is it worth the 500 dollars? I have a 1980 with a 700R4.

To me no, get a new set of springs and an aftermarket cam with better specs for less than $400.

Thanks for the input. I got the price from the GM crate motor site.
