LT4 HOT Cam install questions
When installing the GM LT HOT Cam into a stock LT4, what else needs to be changed? Springs? Lifters? Timing chain?...etc???
Thanks,

I'd say it depends on the miles and how you're going to use the car. On an LT4, you could just go with the cam. Personally, I'd do more, better springs and an electric water pump so you could install a double roller timing set while you're at it.

With an LT1 you need everything in the Hotcam Kit as sold by GMPP dealers, including roller rockers and LT4 springs. LT1 valve springs aren't up to the task.
