What else typicaly goes with hotcam
Im doing a hotcam on my 96 lt4. Im going with long tubes. Also the car has corsa exhaust and K&N air filter. Will this setup need to be dyno tuned.? what are some other typical mods that are a "might as well" that go along with a hotcam that I could squeeze a little more power out of? what can I expect for horsepower? 1/4 mile times?

Get a new stocker if your road racing
How's the opti? At least put a new cap & rotor on it.
Stick or auto?
If auto then a coverter
gears for a stick

A lot of different options out there to suit your budget.
just my 0.02 cents.

1.6 or 1.65 roller tip/trunion rockers are a must do
stiffer (better) or cyro'd springs
other induction stuff like TB and temp relocation
Dyno (or more appropiate road tuning) would be on the hairy edge with this setup...which is why you move the IAT sensor away from the engine.

What goes with a HOTCAM?......
For me, it was comments about how newer, better cam profiles exist. Consider other options if/when replacing cam, heads, etc....
