LT4 Hotcam in a L98?
I am considering an LT4 Hotcam for my L98 with high flow intake (ported plenum,large tube runners & Acell manifold) on the recommendation of my tuner (Chris Petris of the Corvette Clinic).
Can I hear from you folks that have used this cam in your L98 please?
Good, bad or indiffrent, please chime in.
Thanks,

We installed this cam on my brother's 86. We are however using SR and trickflow heads. haven't dynoed the car, but it runs great. the only problem is that the idle is a little high (his is auto), but other than that it's a great buy.
hope this helps,

C44ever, our mods are very similar! :yesnod:
I love the Hotcam!! :cool: I have the idle rpms in the high 800 range according to the digi-dash and it sounds SWEET! :thumbs:
Do you have an auto or manual? I just installed a Vigilante 2800 and beefed up trans and WHOOO HOOO it goes BYE-BYE quickly. :lol:

Re: LT4 Hotcam in a L98? (_freakmonkeydogboy_)
Whew! :crazy: :lol: I'm running fine with this cam in my auto. The only thing I'd say is a pain is when I set the TPS to it's highest limit, the car wants to go when you barely hit the throttle. I had the TPS set to stock before I swapped in the Vigilante and it was till a bit touchy. I literally had to stand on the brakes for the car not to move when in gear. I just assume that's the same with all cams. Now with the 2800 stall, that is not a problem anymore. :cool:
