GM Hot cam kit??
Ok Its not a dd and I am not changing heads! I am adding a set of longtubes and a underdrive pully so I have to retune anyway. Here is my question to anyone using a GM hot cam, how much power gain? Hot rod magazine says 50hp gain with hot cam kit on a stock ls1. I dont need big cam ideas I already have a drag car. Just wanting to see if someone is running this setup. Im looking for 370whp with stock heads and boltons.

I will be doing the cam swap so no labor cost just 500.00 for dynotune, + cam kit and underdrive cost. I am not pulling the heads and a bigger cam will need probly need pistons cut. So right now thats out of the question. Weekend project

So the g5x1 is ok with stock heads? The reason I am not doing heads is I am planning a sts twinn setup next year. But I want a more agressive grind on cam for a little more power and aggresive idle.

I see a lot of people using Comp Cams 54-444-11 (I think that's right, lol). Offers about 455hp at flywheel compared to about 405hp with stock cam (crate LS1 test motor factory rated at 345hp). Test motor run with dual 2 1/2" exhaust, and I think an 80mm TB and MAF.

I liked the cam so much that I removed it from coupe before selling it and will be installing it on the Z in the near future.
