Very important to keep in mind that the lift quoted for the LT4 Hot cam is with 1.6 rockers. Other cam manufactures usually quote the lift with 1.5 rockers. While it's easy enough to calculate the lift with 1.6 rockers some people forget about it.

compare the hot cam to the LT1 cam. I didn't think they were that much different. Obviously there is a difference, but not as dramatic as I would have thought.

Its quite a bit different than a stock LT1 or even stock LT4 cam.



Some have 219/228 @ .050 on the cam card.. Not really worth a difference.. but interesting. I've seen it with my own two eyes btw.
