ATTENTION: THE VENDOR HAS DECLINED ON SPONSORING THE GROUP PURCHASE. See my last post below.

I thought to myself that a LT4 hotcam upgrade might make a great winter project.

I have spoke with a vendor who is looking into the possibility of sponsoring this.

While I am awaiting a response, I wanted to get a feel for how many forum members may be interested in participating.

If we have a good response here, I'm sure it will help make it a reality.

Please post if you want in!

Jay

Possibly. Depends solely on price. :chevy

 

Ditto

 

I'm in. I was going to pick one up anyway!

Scott

 

All I can tell you now is they are just looking into the possibility. Also, that they all ready have a very competitive everyday price and an excellent reputation. As soon as I know something I will post.

In the mean time, please post if interested. We can all assume interest is based on an great price! I'll be the first commitment if we can get a good deal.

Jay

 

Probably gonna do a cam swap this winter anyways. Interested

Bob

 

if the price is right, im in for sure.

 

If price is right, I'm interested.

 

I'd be interested

 

Is this for the entire kit (for LT1's), or just the cam itself?

If its just the cam, I'm in!

1996 Collector Edition LT4
Stock (for now)

 

If it is for JUST the cam I would be very intrested.

Neal

 

I'm in, just need the cam.

 

What's involved work wise and other part wise for this to work in our cars Mr. I drive the exact same thing as you do Jay Axson and what do you think I could expect to shave off the 1/4 mile?

Will need more details as it shapes up here.

 

FYI - I recently picked up a Hot Cam kit for my Firehawk from Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac in Florida for $469. Just thought you might like to know so you can compare prices, Jason at Sam Taylor gave me a great deal on LT4 heads, intake, Hot Cam kit, knock module and timing chain - $1919.95 plus s/h.

as far as time shaving, depends on what else is done to your car, i took a generally average stock LT1 and added a few parts to her and got great results, i also did some head porting to compliment the cam swap, all things that can be done by anyone who feels like taking the time to tackle it. did mine over the course of 3 weeks, hit a few snags here and there but found solutions to them through the forum, if its a group purchase you will have the benefit of all of us who have done it plus all who will be doing it at the same time. i know nathan plemmons and i did ours at the same time and went back and forth as we hit snags. it does take some special tools to do all the work, but some can be made cheap or substituted for ordinary pieces found for a couple bucks in a ghardware store. you will need a jack or hoist to raise the motor 1", a timing chain gear puller 20 bucks at an auto store, and a hub puller, i could show you how to make one of these. all in all, check my sig and compare what you have and then add the hotcam kit, i recomend going with the electric waterpump during this install, so you can use a cloyes dual roller timing set ($80) instead of the stock set up non roller ($100), just makes sense to me, better equipment and less drag equals even more power! and better safety at higher revs! i may replace the stocker setup i put in mine with the clyes soon for piece of mind, i wish i had known with the electric pump i could have done this then! oh well, hind sight is 20/20!

any questions about the install, feel free to ask!

All I need is the cam and found it for $187. Maybe someone can beat that?

 

I haven't heard anything yet, but have emailed them about all the interest in both kits and cam only options. I have also passed along the posted "best" prices as a benchmark. I imagine they have checked out the thread by now.

I think the response to this has been excellent for only one day on the forum.

If I don't hear back tomorrow I will call on Friday to see where things stand.

Thanks
Jay

 

I might be in. Like the others, depends on price. Cam only.

Jeff

 

I would like to get the Cam only option at a fair price.
