Default GM LS1 hot cam

Does anyone know the specs on the GM LS1 hot cam? Any opinions on it (I'm in trouble now )? What would you recommend if you don't like it? Thanks.

Anything but the Hotcam. There are lots of better cams out there.

I think the specs are 218/227 525/525 112. As stated above there are alot cams that will give you better performance and better driveability.
For example the TR224, FM4 or the FM11 just to name three.

This is a big concern of mine. I have heard 224/224 is great and that it will pass smog. I just want to be sure.
