This comment started a 3 month project on my C4. not sure about the new hp or torque but i really like this cam. no weak spots in rpm range. added several mods porting intake and enlarging runners. 1.6 full roller rockers, custom ecm chip. kept the stock exhaust manifolds on and still runs great. That woke it up alright! rear view mirror shakes at red lights.

So did you end up going with the LT4 Cam?

I have a ported base and ported elderbrock high flow runners and a ported plenum all done by a professional. What kind of gains do you think you saw over the stock intake?? i also have a 52mm bbk throttle body for the swap, and I have already done hooker long tube headers and true duals for the exhaust.

Thanks
