The GM Hotcam sounds great.

It's a fairly mild cam as far as lift goes (about .550 I think with our 1.7 rockers), but you can still make decent power out of it.

I remember some LS1 fbody guys pulling 400rwhp with it on stock heads.

I have one of there Whiplash cams and its a beast.

At 7200 feet I dyno'd 424 RWHP with the below mods.

Subtract: SpinMonster tune, SpinMonster Ported Fast 92 out of the formula.

I have not re-tuned the car yet. Since moving to Md.

Upon my return from this deployment I will be adding a set TrickFlow 235s, then a re-dyno w/ re-tune.
