Hotcam ?'s
I've been thinkin about adding a hotcam to my set up, along with 1.6 rr's and probably lt4 valve springs. I'm curious as to the kind of gains you'll see with a hotcam(hp & track), on a mostly stock car(mods in sig), and I also have unlimited pcmforless tunes. the manifolds will stay on the car until I have enough $ to upgrade them later on.

Youre looking at about 40rwhp from going up to Hotcam w/1.6rr after the computer tune.

I gained 26 WHP with no computer tuning on a LT4.
It is a good camshaft.

I just picked my 96 LT4 up today, had a new custom cam put in.
With the cam and a B&B cat back system, I gained ~60rwhp.
I love it!!!
Hot cam was to mild for me, and couldn't justify the benefit/cost. Same pricing and more RWHP...why not!!
